Hyloterpe albiventris Ogilvie-Grant

Hyloterpe albiventris Ogilvie-Grant, 1894a: 49 (mountains of Northern Luzon).

Now Pachycephala albiventris albiventris (Ogilvie- Grant, 1894). See Dickinson et al., 1991: 362, and Boles, 2007: 415.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 658404 and AMNH 658405, adult males, collected in the mountains of north Luzon, Benguet (5 Bgt, as on label), Philippines, on 9 and 4 January 1894, respectively, by John Whitehead (nos. 47 and 19, respectively). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The description of H. albiventris applied only to specimens collected by Whitehead in the mountains of northern Luzon, Benguet Subprovince, between 1 January and 3 April 1894 ( Ogilvie-Grant, 1894b: 502), and Ogilvie-Grant apparently had the entire collection before him. The original description was very brief and no type was designated, but more detail was given in Ogilvie-Grant (1894b: 511–512). Still no type was specified; male and female were described, but the number of specimens was not mentioned. Warren and Harrison (1971: 13) listed two syntypes in BMNH. The above two specimens appear also to be syntypes, although they previously had not been recognized as such. Whitehead’s base was at La Trinidad (5 La Trinadad, Whitehead, 1899: 82), 16.28N, 120.35E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 421), Benguet Subprovince, Philippines.

A third specimen, AMNH 658403, dated 11 January 1894, is said to be from Mt. Data, Lepanto. If the locality on this specimen is correct, then the date should be 11 January 1895 ( Whitehead, 1899: 84–85) and it is not a syntype.
