Malacopterum cinereum bungurense Hartert

Malacopterum cinereum bungurense Hartert, 1894: 470 (Bunguran Island, Natuna Islands).

Now Malacopterum cinereum bungurense Hartert, 1894 . See Smythies and Davison, 1999: 501.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 589150 , adult male, collected on Great Natuna Island (5 Bunguran Island), 038559N, 1088149E ( Seltzer, 1962: 714), Natuna Islands, Indonesia, on 13 October 1893, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, but stated that he had three males and one female. Lat­ er, Hartert (1920: 482) designated the male specimen collected on 13 October as the lectotype. This specimen is marked ‘‘Type’’ and bears a Rothschild type label. Only two paralectotypes came to AMNH: AMNH 589151, male, and AMNH 589152, female, both collected 6 October 1893 and both marked ‘‘cotype’’. Rothschild (1894) provid­ ed introductory material about this collection.

Deignan (1964b: 264) considered bungurense a synonym of M. c. cinereum .

Pomatorhinus tickelli hainanus Rothschild

Pomatorhinus tickelli hainanus Rothschild, 1903: 9 (No­tai).

Now Pomatorhinus hypoleucos hainanus Rothschild, 1903 . See Cheng, 1987: 647, and Dickinson, 2003: 602.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 586286 , adult male, collected at No­tai , Hainan Island , China, on 30 September 1902, by Zensaku Katsumata (no. 90a). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild designated as the holotype Katsumata’s specimen no. 90a, bearing the above data. He had a series of 14 males and females from No­Tai, Laimui­Mon, and Mt. Wuchi, Hainan Island. The 13 paratypes are: AMNH 586287–86299. All of these bear Katsumata’s species no. 90. An ‘‘a’’ had been added to the holotype and to AMNH 586287, a female collected at No­tai on 30 September 1902. This had been crossed out on the latter specimen and a ‘‘b’’ added. Only the male was listed as the type. None of the other paratypes had a letter added to Katsumata’s number.

Pomatorhinus erythrogenys minor Delacour and Jabouille

Pomatorhinus erythrogenys minor Delacour and Jabouille, 1930: 400 (Pakha ( Tonkin), altitude: 1,400 mètres).

Now Pomatorhinus erythrocnemis odicus Bangs and Phillips, 1914 . See, Vaurie, 1954: 2, 1959: 439–440.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 292204 , adult male, collected at Bac Ha (5 Pakha), 228349N,

1048179E ( Hennache and Dickinson, 2000: 624), Vietnam, on 21 December 1929, by E. Poilane on the Fifth Expedition to French Indo­China (no. 3495).

COMMENTS: The field number of the holotype was given in the original description. Delacour (1930: 564–567) gave the itinerary of this expedition and noted that Poilane collected at Pakha. Delacour and Jabouille (1930: 401) listed four males and four females of this form collected at Pakha and Chapa. Three of the seven paratypes came to AMNH, all collected at Chapa: AMNH 291151 (expedition no. 1870), male ; AMNH 291152 (1722), female ; and AMNH 291153 (2021), female [male] (so marked on the original label). See Hennache and Dickinson (2000: 619–621) for information on this expedition .

Deignan (1964b: 268) and Dickinson (2003: 602) retained erythrocnemis as a subspecies of P. erythrogenys (sensu lato), with odicus as another subspecies. Sibley and Monroe (1990: 632–633) considered P. erythrogenys and P. erythrocnemis separate species, but see Inskipp et al. (1996: 182) concerning species ranges.
