Pseudozosterops squamiceps heinrichi Stresemann

Pseudozosterops squamiceps heinrichi Stresemann, 1931c: 82 (Matinang-Gebirge: Ile-Ile, 1700 m).

Now Lophozosterops squamiceps heinrichi (Stresemann, 1931) . See Mees, 1969: 189–190, White and Bruce, 1986: 418, and van Balen, 2008: 481– 482.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 293138 , adult male, collected at Ile-Ile, 1700 m, 01.04N, 121.40E ( USBGN, 1982a), Matinan (5 Matinang) Mountains , Sulawesi (5 Celebes) Island, Indonesia, on 9 November 1930, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 2566).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann noted the Heinrich field number of the holotype as ‘‘2466.’’ This was apparently a typographical error as AMNH 293138 bears a ZMB type label filled in by Stresemann, and the data on Heinrich’s field label otherwise agree with those given in the original description. Mees (1969: 191) listed the Heinrich number of the type as ‘‘2566’’ without comment, and no specimen of heinrichi with the number ‘‘2466’’ was among the specimens that came to AMNH. Roselaar and Prins (2000: 116) listed the holotype of P. s. heinrichi in ZMB in error (Roselaar, personal commun.) and S. Frahnert (personal commun.) confirmed that no specimen of P. s. heinrichi came to ZMB bearing Heinrich’s number ‘‘2466.’’

As in the case of the above two forms, the specimens of heinrichi were divided between AMNH and ZMB, with primary types to come to AMNH. Stresemann (1931c: 83) did not say how many specimens he examined. Later, he ( Stresemann, 1940: 68) listed 18 specimens, but this undoubtedly refers only to specimens for which he gave measurements, as he had the entire collection in hand when this form was described. Paratypes in AMNH are: males, of which four are immature, AMNH 293132–293137, 293139– 293151; females, AMNH 293152–293162, 293166; unsexed, AMNH 293163–293165. Of these, AMNH 293145 was originally identified as P. s. heinrichi by Stresemann and was part of his type series, but, according to an unsigned entry in the AMNH catalog, it later was found to be a specimen of Phylloscopus trivirgatus capitalis . It is a male, bearing Heinrich’s field number 2798. Other paratypes are in ZMB (Frahnert, personal commun.), RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 21), and ZGMA ( Roselaar and Prins, 2000: 116.
