Type
locality.
Meyen
(1834a: 70)
stated that he collected the bird at “
Manila
” (which name he used both for the city and the island of
Luzon
).
In
his travel report,
Meyen
(1835: 254)
specified that he collected the bird at “
Hali-Hali
” [=
Jalajala
,
Luzon
,
Philippines
;
14.35°N
,
121.32°E
]
. We thus ascertain the type locality as Jalajala.
Remarks.
Both
Lichtenstein (1832)
and
Meyen (1834a: 70)
stated that the specimen was collected in October, but
Meyen (1835: 254)
offered the more accurate date.
