HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 722675
, adult male, collected on the
Sungai Lebir
(= Sungei Lebeh),
04.56N
,
102.29E
(BirdLife
International, 2001: 2635
),
Malaysia
, on
19 May 1901
, by collectors for John Waterstradt. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as type of
infortunatus
the single specimen collected by
Waterstradt
on the
Sungai Lebir
and gave the range of the form as ‘‘
Malay Peninsula
…to
Tenasserim
and
Burma
,
Sumatra’
’;
but he doubted the collecting locality of
Sumatran
specimens in the
BMNH
.
The
following
paratypes
are in
AMNH
:
Myanmar
(= Burma),
Tenassarim
,
Mergui
,

AMNH 722693
, unsexed, no date,
Davison
(694, 6616c).
The
following two specimens I have also considered
paratypes
for, although not dated, they bear the same sales lot number and were undoubtedly acquired by
Rothschild
at the same time as the others: [
Malacca
skin],
AMNH 722681
,
722682
, juvenile males,
