Garrulax subunicolor fooksi Delacour and Jabouille

Garrulax subunicolor fooksi Delacour and Jabouille, 1930: 7 (Chapa ( Tonkin), altitude 1.600 mètres).

Now Garrulax subunicolor fooksi Delacour and Jabouille, 1930 . See Robson, 2000: 448, and Hennache and Dickinson, 2000: 620.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 292198 , adult male, collected at Cha Pa , 228209N, 1038509E (Times Atlas), Vietnam, on 30 November 1929, by Jean Delacour and Pierre Jabouille (no. 1804).

COMMENTS: The unique Delacour and Jabouille field number of the holotype was given in the original description. The authors listed 20 specimens in their type series. Of the 19 paratypes, eight came to AMNH: AMNH 290954–290957 , three males and one female from Cha Pa ; AMNH 290958 and 290959, a male and a female from Loquiho ; and AMNH 290960 and 290961, one male and one unsexed from Fan­si­pan .

Ianthocincla affinis oustaleti Hartert Ianthocincla affinis oustaleti Hartert, 1909a: 633

(Tsékou).

Now Garrulax affinis oustaleti (Hartert, 1909) .

See Cheng, 1987: 698, and MacKinnon and

Phillipps, 2000: 423.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 586424 , adult unsexed, collected at Tsékou , 288029N, 988539E ( Collar et al., 2001: 2576), Yunnan, China, in 1897, by Jean­André Soulié (no. 349). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Soulié’s number 349 was cited for the holotype in the original description; no other specimens were mentioned. This specimen had been received by Rothschild on exchange from MNHN. The type locality is spelled Cigu in Cheng (1987: 698).

The initials ‘‘R.P.’’ used by Hartert for Soulié refer to ‘‘Reverendissimus Pater’’ (5 most holy father), an honorific apparently given this missionary martyr ( Fournier, 1932: 115–120).

Trochalopteron formosum J.Verreaux Trochalopteron formosum J. Verreaux, 1869: 35

(le Thibet oriental).

Now Garrulax formosus formosus (J. Verreaux,

1869). See Cheng, 1987: 700–701.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 7483, adult male, collected in ‘‘She­tchuan occid.’’ (5 western Sichuan) in January 1869, by Abbé Armand David. From the Verreaux Collection (no. 4771).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Jules Verreaux, without giving the number, said that the specimens of his new form had been collected in eastern Tibet, but later ( Verreaux, 1871) noted that they came from Sichuan and described male and female. Berlioz (1930: 25) noted that a type was present in MNHN without giving particulars. The above specimen came to AMNH with the purchase of a part of the Verreaux Collection. It was formerly mounted. The original label, marked ‘‘type’’, is attached to the AMNH type label.

During his stay in Europe in the 1870s, Daniel Giraud Elliot purchased several collections of bird specimens for the newly founded AMNH. ‘‘Another purchase was selected from the Verreaux Collection in Paris... Dr. Elliot spent several months studying the collections and as rapidly as he selected birds or mammals, they were mounted by Verreaux and shipped to New York until several thousand specimens had been obtained’’ ( Anonymous, 1915: 138). These specimens were cataloged as part of the exhibition collection and put on public display. Later, many of these specimens, including this syntype, were dismounted and added to the study collection.

Another specimen collected by David on 30 January 1869 is listed by Arbocco et al. (1986: 22) as a syntype. However, that specimen came directly to MNSG from David and there is no indication that it was ever in Verreaux’s hand. Other syntypes would be expected in MNHN.

Garrulax formosus greenwayi Delacour and Jabouille

Garrulax formosus greenwayi Delacour and Jabouille, 1930: 398 (Fan­si­pan ( Tonkin), altitude: 2.800 mètres).

Now Garrulax formosus greenwayi Delacour and Jabouille, 1930 . See Robson, 2000: 449, and Hennache and Dickinson, 2000: 620.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 292201 , adult male, collected on 1 December 1929, on Fan Si Pan , 2800 m, 228199N, 1038469E (Times Atlas), Vietnam, by Jean Delacour and Pierre Jabouille (no. 1927).

COMMENTS: The field number of the holotype was cited in the original description. The original label also is marked ‘‘Type’’. Of 12 paratypes listed in the original description, three males and one female came to AMNH: AMNH 291052–291055.

Trochalopteron phoeniceum bakeri Hartert

Trochalopteron phoeniceum bakeri Hartert,

1908a: 10 (Laisung, North Cachar).

Now Liocichla phoenicea bakeri (Hartert, 1908) .

See Robson, 2000: 449–450.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 586667 , adult male, collected at Laisong (5 Laisung), 258129N, 938179E ( Collar et al., 2001: 2591), Northern Cachar Hills, Assam, India, on 23 February 1896, by E.C. Stuart Baker (no. 32960). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Baker’s number of the holotype was cited in the original description. Hartert did not say how many specimens he had, but one in addition to the holotype came to AMNH: paratype AMNH 586668, a female collected at the same time.

This species is placed in Garrulax by Ali and Ripley, 1996b: 63.
