Dendrocitta sinensis insulae Hartert

Dendrocitta sinensis insulae Hartert, 1910: 252 (No-Tai) .

Now Dendrocitta formosae insulae Hartert, 1910 . See Hartert, 1919: 124; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 249; Dickinson et al., 2004: 118; and dos Anjos, 2009: 601.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 677066 , adult male, collected at No-Tai , Hainan Island, China, on 3 October 1902, by Zensaku Katsumata. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert based his description on 13 males and females collected at No-Tai in April, September, and October 1902 and designated as the type a male collected on 3 October. There are two males collected on that date and Hartert (1919: 124) did not further distinguish between them. AMNH 677066, bearing a Rothschild type label, was cataloged as the type when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH and has unquestionably been so considered. In order to remove the ambiguity presented by the second specimen, I hereby designate AMNH 677066 the lectotype of Dendrocitta sinensis insulae . The remaining 12 specimens are paralectotypes: AMNH 677062–677065, 677067–677074, six males, six females, collected at No-Tai April, September, and October 1902.
