[ Pratincola torquata hibernans Hartert ]

This subspecies was described by Hartert (1910d: 173), the holotype listed as a male adult collected on the Tring Estate on 14 November 1898 by Ernst Hartert. When the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH, this specimen was cataloged as AMNH 450913, and on 21 September 1936 was presented to BMNH along with other types from the British Isles. It is now BMNH Reg no. 1936.10.15.9 ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 236). Now Saxicola torquatus hibernans Hartert, 1910 ( Cramp, 1988: 737) .

Pratincola emmae Hartlaub

Pratincola emmae Hartlaub, 1890: 152 (‘‘Ruganda’’. (?)).

Now Saxicola torquatus axillaris (Shelley, 1885) . See Hartert, 1920: 472, Keith et al., 1992: 495, and Urquhart, 2002: 208.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 581982 , adult male, collected at Mbarara (5 Rugánda, R. Dowsett, personal commun.), 008369S, 308409E (Times Atlas), Ankole, Uganda, on 15 July 1889, by Emin Pasha (no. 263). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartlaub did not designate a type, but listed four specimens comprising the type series. Hartert (1920: 472) designated Hartlaub’s specimen no. 1 the lectotype by citing Emin’s field no. 263. Paralectotypes are AMNH 581983–581985.

According to David and Gosselin (2002b: 263, 280), the genus Saxicola is masculine. Sibley and Monroe (1990: 539) treated Saxicola in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Mus­ cicapinae; Dickinson (2003: 683) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapinae . Molecular studies of Saxicola torquatus are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

Duncan (1937: 74) gave April 1885 as the date of publication of part 4 of the 1884 Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, which includes p. 556 on which axillaris was described.

Saxicola torquata promiscua Hartert Saxicola torquata promiscua Hartert, 1922b: 51

Now Saxicola torquatus promiscuus Hartert,

1922. See Keith et al., 1992: 495, and Urquhart,

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 581863 , adult male, collected in the Uluguru Mountains , Tanzania, on 8 May 1921, by Arthur Loveridge (no. 16). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Loveridge’s unique field number of the type was given in the original description. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 581864, adult female collected on the same date as the holotype, and AMNH 581865– 581868, unsexed specimens collected at Manow in 1906 by an unknown collector.

According to David and Gosselin (2002b: 263, 280), the genus Saxicola is masculine. Molecular studies of Saxicola torquatus are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

Pratincola caprata rossorum Hartert Pratincola caprata rossorum Hartert, 1910d: 180

(Merw in Transkaspien).

Now Saxicola caprata rossorum (Hartert, 1910) .

See Cramp, 1988: 752, and Urquhart, 2002:

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 582440 , adult male, collected at Mary (5 Merv or Merw), 378429N, 618549E (Times Atlas), Turkmeniya, on 22 July 1889 (Russian calendar, corrected to 4 August 1889 on the Rothschild label), by Nikolai A. Zarudny (nos. 5 and 338). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description the type was said the be a male from Merw in the Rothschild Museum, collected on 4 August 1889. The above specimen is the only one that came to AMNH with the correct date, and it bears a Rothschild type label. Hartert (1920: 471) cited Zarudny’s number 338. Paratypes are AMNH 582436–582439 and AMNH 582441–582446.

According to David and Gosselin (2002b: 263, 280), the genus Saxicola is masculine and caprata is invariable and not declined; rossorum retains the genitive ending of a Latinized name of a group of people (ICZN, 1999: Art. 31 and p. 103). Molecular studies of Saxicola caprata are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

Now Saxicola caprata randi Parkes, 1960 . See

Dickinson et al., 1991: 318, and Urquhart,

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 459839 , adult female, collected at Bondo , 098049N, 1238029E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 416), near Siaton, Negros I., Philippines, on 30 January 1954, by Dioscoro S. Rabor (no. 5931).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number and Rabor’s field number of the type were cited in the original description. Parkes examined 20 specimens of randi from Negros, Bohol, and Siquijor. Only one of the paratypes is at AMNH, and it is marked randi by Parkes: AMNH 459838, adult male, collected at Bondo on 31 January 1954 by Rabor. AMNH 782151, a female from Inalad, near Siaton, was collected on 20 September 1959 by Rabor and was not seen by Parkes.

Molecular studies of Saxicola caprata are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 582447 , adult female, collected at Indrulaman , Sulawesi I., Indonesia, on 3 October 1895, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann gave the above unique data for the type and measurements of nine males and five females from Sulawesi (including the type) and one male and one female from Sal­ eyer (5 Salayar) I., belonging to his new subspecies. He also included Buton (5 Butung) I. in the range without giving measurements. The following paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection : seven males and two females from Sulawesi, AMNH 582448 , 582452–582459 ; one male and one female from Saleyer , AMNH 582449 and 582450 ; and one female from Buton , AMNH 582451 . These were all collected prior to 1902 by Everett, Heinrich Kühn, and William Doherty, from all of whom Rothschild bought specimens shortly after they were collected .

Indrulaman is shown on the map in Stresemann (1940) as location 70, at ca. 058309S, 1208059E.

Molecular studies of Saxicola caprata are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

Saxicola caprata belensis Rand

Saxicola caprata belensis Rand, 1940a: 4 (Balim River, 1600 meters altitude, Snow Mts., Netherland New Guinea).

Now Saxicola caprata belensis Rand, 1940 . See Coates, 1990: 54, and Urquhart, 2002: 232.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 305651 , adult male, collected on the Balim River , 1600 m, Jayawijaya Mountains (5 eastern Snow Mountains), Papua Prov., Indonesia, on 14 December 1938, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and William B. Richardson. From the 1938–1939 (Third) Archbold Expedition (no. 8690).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the ho­ lotype was cited in the original description. Measurements were given for five males and five females from the Balim River area and for seven males and six females from southeastern New Guinea. Five males, in addition to the type, and five females from the Balim River and Ibele (5 Bele) River (a tributary of the Balim) were cataloged in AMNH and are paratypes: AMNH 340296–340305 ; of these, AMNH 340300 was exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s and AMNH 340304 was sent to MZB in 1957. Eight males and eight females in AMNH from southeastern New Guinea would have been available to Rand, although some of them may not have been measured. They also are paratypes of belensis: AMNH 419987– 419994 and 582465–582472 ; of these, AMNH 419987 was exchanged to FMNH, and AMNH 419990 later became the type of Saxicola caprata wahgiensis , see below .

Molecular studies of S. caprata are reported by Wink et al. (2002a, 2002b).

According to the map in Archbold et al. (1942: opposite p. 199), the junction of the Bele River with the Balim River is ca. 038559S, 1388559E.
