COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that Doherty had sent ‘‘a series’’ from Obi Major and noted that the
type
was a male collected in
September 1897
that had the eye dark brown and bill and feet black. There are two males collected in
September 1897
, but
AMNH 672614
is the only one of the series that has soft parts colors recorded
; they match those of the description of the
type
. The original Doherty label on this specimen is marked ‘‘
Type
:
Dicrurus dohertyi
,’’ and it bears a Rothschild
type
label.
In
the original description,
Hartert
gave measurements of three males and two females, but there are seven specimens in the type series, all from
Obi Major
, collected by
Doherty
in 1897.

.
