Oriolus chinensis sorsogonensis Gilliard

Oriolus chinensis sorsogonensis Gilliard, 1949b: 157 (Sorsogon, southern Luzon, Philippine Islands).

Now Oriolus chinensis chinensis Linnaeus, 1766 . See Greenway, 1962: 129; Dickinson et al., 1991: 293–294; Kennedy et al., 2000: 241; Dickinson, 2004: 54; Dickinson et al., 2004a: 69; and Walther and Jones, 2008: 724–725.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 94316, adult male, collected in Sorsogon Province, 12.50N, 123.55E (Dickinson et al., 1991: 425), Luzon Island, Philippines, on 22 March 1903, by Elias Hall Porter.

COMMENTS: Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and included specimens from Sorsogon and S. Camarines, all collected by Porter. Paratypes are: Sorsogon, AMNH 94292–94295, 94297–94307, 94310, 94312– 94315, 94317–94321, 94323–94334, 94336– 94349, 21 males, 29 females, one sex?, collected January–April 1903; S. Camarines, AMNH 94350, 94377–94382, three males, four females, May–June 1902. AMNH 94296, 94309, 94311, 94322 were exchanged before the form was named. I did not find AMNH 94308 and 94335 in the collection, and they may also have been exchanged without the catalog having been marked.
