Criniger gularis balicus Stresemann

Criniger gularis balicus Stresemann, 1913: 358 (Gitgit (Bali )).

Now Criniger bres bres (Lesson, 1832) . See Mees, 1996: 45–47, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002b: 103, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 129.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 566040 , adult male, collected at Gitgit , 2000 ft, Bali, Indonesia, on 2 February 1911, by E. Stresemann (no. 222). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Stresemann’s field number of the type was cited in the original description; it might be misinterpreted as 1222, due to a smudge on the field label. Comparison of numbers on other specimens collected at Gitgit shows that the number was correctly cited as 222.

Stresemann’s Bali collection went to the Rothschild Museum and he noted ( Stresemann, 1913: 326–327) that measurements of additional specimens in the Rothschild Collection (collected by Doherty) were included in his account of the birds of Bali. In the case of this taxon, Stresemann (1913: 358) listed three Bali specimens collected by himself, and measurements are given for six specimens. Five Bali specimens, in addition to the holotype, came to AMNH. These paratypes are AMNH 566041, and 566042, collected by Stresemann, and AMNH 566043–566045, collected by William Doherty in 1896.

Stresemann (1913: 325) placed Gitgit ‘‘südlich von Buleleng [08°06′S, 115°12′E, Times Atlas] am Nordhang des Centralgebirges’’.

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 589) include bres in the genus Alophoixus . See Pasquet et al. (2001) for the results of recent DNA studies.
