Now Lanius schach schach Linnaeus, 1758 . See Rand , 1960: 349, Harris and Franklin, 2000: 207 , and Lefranc and Worfolk, 1997: 113 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 450989 , [adult male], collected on Hainan Island , China , on 14 February 1902 , by Zensaku Katsumata (no. 2). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : The AMNH number was cited in the original description. The holotype was not sexed by the collector, but was published as a male by Birckhead, perhaps because its wing measures 103 mm , the largest in his series of measurements of eight males . The Rothschild Collection held 13 Katsumata specimens of Lanius schach in normal plumage from Hainan . The 12 paratypes are AMNH 661877–661888. At the time of this description, melanistic specimens were identified as Lanius fuscatus . The holotype is the only specimen in the series without an exact locality; however, a female collected on the same day was taken at Kiung Chau (= Ch’iung Chou), 19°56′N , 110°30′E (Times Atlas). The number ‘‘2p’’ appears on the field label of each nonmelanistic specimen.
