Mount Apo

(
Dickinson et al., 1991: 415
),
Mindanao Island
,
Philippines
, in
April
, 1903, by Walter Goodfellow. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: When he described
vulcani
, Hartert had a single specimen, labeled as a male, collected by Goodfellow; in the original description the
type
was listed as a female, but this was corrected without comment by
Hartert (1920: 436)
.
Mees (1957: 184)
listed this
type
specimen but considered
vulcani
a synonym of
Z. m.
montanus
. Specimens collected on Mount Apo by J. Waterstradt in
October and November 1903
were collected too late to have been in Hartert’s hand when the description was published on
30 October 1903
.
