Dissemurus paradiseus johni Hartert

Dissemurus paradiseus johni Hartert, 1902b: 580 (Hainan) .

Now Dicrurus paradiseus johni (Hartert, 1902) . See Hartert, 1919: 130; Vaurie, 1949b: 329; 1962: 156; Dickinson, 2003: 493; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 211–212.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 672886, adult male, Wu-Zhi Shan (= Five Finger Mountains), 18.59N, 109.45E (Times Atlas), Hainan Island, China, on 9 April 1899, by John Whitehead (no. 72). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The holotype is the only Whitehead specimen of D. paradiseus from Hainan Island that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Earlier, Ogilvie-Grant (1900: 457–504) had reported on the entire collection that Whitehead made on Hainan; and Hartert (1902b: 579), referring to his account of D. paradiseus, thereby included those specimens in his type series. Ogilvie- Grant (1900: 465) listed three males and one female, presumably including the holotype of johni that later went to the Rothschild Collection; the remaining listed specimens are paratypes of johni.
