Goodfellowia miranda Hartert, 1903

Goodfellowia miranda Hartert, 1903c: 11 (Mt. Apo, Mindanao, Philippines, 8000 feet).

Now Basilornis mirandus ( Hartert, 1903) . See Hartert, 1906: 758; Hartert, 1919: 136; Amadon, 1956: 6–7; 1962a: 116; Dickinson et al., 1991: 374; Feare and Craig, 1999: 136; Dickinson, 2003: 653; and Craig and Feare, 2009: 711.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 667026 , adult male, collected on Apo Volcano (= Mount Apo ), 8000 feet, 06.59N, 125.16E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island , Philippine Islands, in April 1903, by Walter Goodfellow (no. 57). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated Goodfellow’s specimen no. 57 as the holotype, and also named the genus Goodfellowia at the same time, with miranda the type species. He gave the range as Mt. Apo but did not give the number of specimens. Hartert (1906: 758) said only that Goodfellow had obtained ‘‘several fine specimens’’ on his first expedition in 1903, on which Hartert’s description of miranda was based, and illustrated the species in plate II, figure 2. There are three paratypes in AMNH: Apo Volcano, AMNH 216489, male, AMNH 667030, 667031, females, April 1903, Goodfellow nos. 56, 59, 58, respectively. AMNH 216489 was received on exchange from Rothschild in September 1927.
