Horeites flavolivaceus weberi Mayr

Horeites flavolivaceus weberi Mayr (in Stanford and Mayr), 1941: 244 (Mt. Victoria, Chin Hills).

Now Cettia flavolivacea weberi ( Mayr, 1941) . See Robson, 2000: 432, del Hoyo et al., 2006: 594, and Olsson et al., 2006.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 305849 , adult female, collected on Mount Victoria , 2600 m, 21.12N, 93.55E (Times Atlas), southern Chin Hills, Myanmar, on 11 May 1938, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 3228).

COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements for two male and four female specimens, including the type, from Mt. Victoria. The paratypes are AMNH 306303 and 306304, males, and AMNH 306305–306307, females.

Stresemann and Heinrich (1939: 194), in their report on Heinrich’s collection, listed this form under Neornis f. flavolivacea and reported a collection of nine males and 10 females. However, only that portion of Heinrich’s collection purchased by AMNH was available to Mayr when he named this subspecies.
