Cissa jefferyi Sharpe

Cissa jefferyi Sharpe, 1888b: 383 (Kina Balu).

Now Cissa thalassina jefferyi Sharpe, 1888 . See Hartert, 1919: 124; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 244; Smythies, 2000: 628–629; Dickinson, 2003: 510; Dickinson et al., 2004c: 90–91; and dos Anjos, 2009: 597–598.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 676896 , adult male, collected on Gunung (= Mount) Kinabalu , 8000 ft, 06.03N, 116.32E (Times Atlas), Sabah, Malaysia, on 16 March 1888, by John Whitehead (no. 2222). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: When Sharpe named jefferyi he described the above male and a female (Whitehead no. 2046). Both of these syntypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Hartert (1919: 124) listed the male as the type of jefferyi , thereby designating it the lectotype. The female, AMNH 676900, collected on Gunung Kinabalu on 23 March 1888 by Whitehead is the paralectotype. Four additional specimens collected by Whitehead in 1888 have no nomenclatural standing as the two syntypes had been designated in the original description.
