Rhinomyias ruficauda isola Hachisuka

Rhinomyias ruficauda isola Hachisuka, 1932: 110 (Mt. Dulit) .

Now Rhinomyias ruficauda isola Hachisuka, 1932 . See Smythies, 2000: 556.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 652748 , adult [male], collected on Mount Dulit , 3500 ft, 03.15S, 114.15E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2632), Sarawak, Malaysia, undated, by Charles Hose (no. 35). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In his original description, Hachisuka designated as type a specimen collected by Charles Hose at 3500 ft on Mt. Dulit and said that it was in AMNH, from the Rothschild Collection. The above specimen is the only Mt. Dulit specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It was named at the time that the collection was coming to AMNH and did not bear a Rothschild type label. It lay unrecognized as a type until Vaurie (1952) added it to the AMNH type collection. It is labeled as a male by Hartert, but was not so labeled by Hose on his field label. Sharpe (1892: 435), in reporting on Hose’s collection from Mt. Dulit, listed a male and a female, both bearing Hose’s number 35, but noted the male as having been collected at 3500 ft and the female at 5000 ft. The female apparently was not in the Rothschild Collection, as it was not mentioned by Hachisuka. The paratype listed by Hachisuka (1932: 110) is AMNH 652749, male, collected on Mt. Kalulong in February (no day or year) by Charles Hose.
