Oriolus isabellae Ogilvie-Grant

Oriolus isabellae Ogilvie-Grant, 1894b: 2 (mountains of Northern Luzon).

Now Oriolus isabellae Ogilvie-Grant, 1894 . See Ogilvie-Grant, 1895: 108–109; Hartert, 1919: 134; Greenway, 1962: 126; Dickinson et al., 1991: 294; Kennedy et al., 2000: 241–242; Dickinson et al., 2004a: 68; and Walther and Jones, 2008: 721–722.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 670848, adult female, collected in Isabela Province, northern Luzon Island, Philippines, on 4 May 1894, by John Whitehead (no. 363). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: As noted by Ogilvie-Grant (1895: 108–109) and Whitehead (1899: 101), a single specimen was collected. As he had with albiloris (above), Whitehead had also marked this specimen ‘‘ Type of ♀ J.W.’’ His field no. 363 was cited by Hartert (1919: 134). As noted above, Rothschild had probably purchased this specimen directly from Whitehead.
