Pnoepyga squamata magnirostris Rothschild, 1925: 297(Shweli Valley, 7,000 ft.). Now Pnoepyga albiventer albiventer(Hodgson, 1837). See Rothschild, 1926b: 249, Cheng, 1987: 655, and MacKinnon and Phillipps, 2000: 433.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 573660, adult female, collected in the Shweli Valley, 7000 ft, Yunnan, China, in November 1924, by George Forrest(no. 5819). Fromthe Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild stated that he had a single female, and later that it was the only known specimen ( Rothschild, 1926b: 249, under Pnoepyga albiventer magnirostris). Deignan (1964b: 293)noted that Microura squamataGould, 1837was a nomen oblitum. PnoepygaHodgson, 1844, became the next available generic name, and Zimmer and Vaurie (1954: 40–41)designated albiventeras the typespecies. P. a. magnirostrisis now considered a synonym of the nominate race. For a discussion of the typesof taxa named by Rothschild, based on specimens collected by Forrest in Yunnanand a map of the area, see LeCroy and Dickinson (2001).
