Ixulus flavicollis harterti Harington

Ixulus flavicollis harterti Harington, 1913: 62 (Sinlum, Bhamo) .

Now Yuhina flavicollis rouxi (Oustalet, 1896) . See Deignan, 1964b: 423, Smythies, 1986: 306, and Ali and Ripley, 1996b: 102.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 591521 , adult female, collected at Sinlum , near Bhamo, 248159N, 978159E (Times Atlas), Myanmar, on 25 April 1908, by Col. Herbert H. Harington (no. 232). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Harington cited his field number of the holotype in the original description. He did not state how many specimens he had but gave the range as the ‘‘Bhamo Hills and Trans­Salween Shan States, Burma’’. There are eight paratypes in AMNH, all collected by Harington at Sinlum: AMNH 591522–591529.

Sinlum is shown on the map in Stanford and Ticehurst (1938: opposite p. 68). See Ci­ bois et al. (2002) for recent molecular studies of this species.

Yuhina diademata obscura Delacour and Jabouille

Yuhina diademata obscura Delacour and Jabouille, 1930: 403 (Fan­si­pan, Chapa ( Tonkin), altitude: 2,500 mètres).

Now Yuhina diademata diademata J. Verreaux, 1869 . See Deignan, 1964b: 424, Hennache and Dickinson, 2000: 620, and Dickinson, 2003: 622.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 292186 , adult female, collected at Fan Si Pan , 2500 m, 228199N, 1038469E (Times Atlas), Vietnam, on 5 December 1929, by Jean Delacour and Pierre Jabouille (no. 2198).

COMMENTS: The field number of the holotype was cited in the original description, and the authors stated that they had one male and two female specimens. Neither of the paratypes came to AMNH.

Yuhina nigrimentum intermedia Rothschild

Yuhina nigrimentum intermedia Rothschild, 1922 :

11 (Mekong­Salwin Divide).

Now Yuhina nigrimenta intermedia Rothschild,

1922. See Cheng, 1987: 743, and MacKinnon

and Phillipps, 2000: 455.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 591467 , adult male, collected on the Mekong­Salwin Divide , 10,000–11,000 ft, Yunnan, China, on 27 July 1921, by George Forrest (no. 574). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description Rothschild said that the type was a male collected on the Mekong­Salwin Divide on 27 July 1921. In his summary of Forrest’s collections, Rothschild (1926b: 278) noted that Forrest had collected this form only in 1921 and that he had collected two males on the Mekong­Salwin Divide. Because he did not distinguish between these two males in his original description, they both must be considered syntypes. One of these specimens is in BMNH and one in AMNH. Hartert (1928: 278) designated the AMNH specimen the lectotype by citing Forrest’s number 574, and it bears the Rothschild type label as well as an annotation ‘‘Type’’ on the Forrest label. Warren and Harrison erred in citing BMNH 1922.12.7.280 as the holotype because a lectotype had already been designated by Hartert. The BMNH specimen is the paralectotype (see LeCroy and Dickinson, 2001: 191). Other specimens of this form collected by Forrest in 1921 ( Rothschild, 1926b: 278) have no nomenclatural standing.

On his label, Forrest noted the collecting latitude as 288109N. Seltzer (1962: 1180) gave the Chinese name of the Mekong River as ‘‘Lantsang Chiang (or Kiang)’’ and the Salween (5Salwin) River as ‘‘Lu Chiang or Nu Chiang’’ ( Seltzer, 1962: 1655–1656). Cheng (1987: 743) rendered these names as ‘‘Lancang’’ and ‘‘Nujiang’’ rivers.
