Graucalus crissalis Salvadori

Graucalus crissalis Salvadori, 1894: 592 (Si­pora, Isole Mentawei).

Now Coracina striata sumatrensis (S. Müller, 1843) . See van Marle and Voous, 1988: 149, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002a: 11, and Dickinson et al., 2002a: 35.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 561268, adult male, and AMNH 561269, adult female, collected at Si Oban, Sipura Island, 02°12′S, 99°40′E ( van Marle and Voous, 1988: 216), Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, on 26 April 1894, by Dr. Elio Modigliani (nos. 75 and 77). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Hartert (1922b: 372) commented: ‘‘Both specimens are marked in the author’s handwriting: ‘ Graucalus crissalis Salvad. Typus!’ They are specimens A and D of Salvadori’s list, who marked all skins as ‘Typus.’ They are thus cotypes, or paratypes according to modern nomenclature.’’ In today’s nomenclature they are syntypes.

Salvadori (1894: 592) listed five specimens, a– e. The three additional syntypes, Salvadori’s specimens b, c, and e, are in MNSG ( Arbocco et al., 1979: 209).

Salvadori (1894: 588) noted that Si Oban is a bay on Sipura Island.
