Macronous ptilosus reclusus
Hartert, 1915c: 36
(
Kina
Balu,
1000 feet
).
Now
Macronous ptilosus reclusus
Hartert, 1915
. See

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 590574
, adult male, collected on
Kinabalu
, 068039N, 1168329E (Times Atlas),
Sabah
,
Malaysia
, on
17 January 1888
, by
John Whitehead
(no. 1881).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
In
the original description,
Hartert
designated the male collected on
17 January 1888
as the type.
Paratypes
are:
AMNH 590575
(Whitehead no. 1882), a female collected on the same date
;
and
AMNH 590576
(617), male, collected at
Lawas
,
north Borneo
, on
27 March 1886
.
AMNH 590577
, a male collected at
Batu Sang
,
Borneo
, in
March 1892
by Charles Hose, may also be a
paratype
, but I have no information concerning when it came into Rothschild’s possession
.
Hartert (1915c: 36)
restricted the type locality of
Timalia trichorrhos
Temminck, 1836
(5
Macronous ptilosus trichorrhos
) to the lowlands of
Sumatra
and then gave the above name to the Borneo form.
Mees (1986: 129)
noted the possibility that
trichorrhos
should be used instead of
reclusus
, depending on where the type of
trichorrhos
came from—
Sumatra
or Borneo.
Dekker (2003: 50)
discussed this possibility and noted that if an ongoing search for Sumatran type material available to Temminck is not found, ‘‘then a Sumatran
neotype
will be selected to provide for nomenclatural stability’’.
