Hyloterpe Homeyeri Blasius

Hyloterpe Homeyeri Blasius, 1890a: 143 (Sulu- Inseln).

Now Pachycephala homeyeri homeyeri (Blasius, 1890) . See Hartert, 1920a: 447, Dickinson et al., 1991: 362, Dickinson, 2003: 475, and Boles, 2007: 415–416.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 658471 , adult female, collected on Joló Island , Sulu Islands, Philippines, on 15 May 1887, by Carl C. Platen (specimen ‘‘a’’). From the Adolph Nehrkorn Collection (no. 3034) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The description was based on a single female specimen said to be in Nehrkorn’s collection at that time. The Platens collected on Joló Island in the [northern] summer of 1887 ( Blasius, 1890a: 138). A note on the reverse of Platen’s label, ‘‘Hierzu Eier no. 4,’’ indicates an associated egg, but this did not come to AMNH.

When Hinkelmann and Heinze (1990: 624) listed types of bird taxa described by Blasius, they were unaware that some of the Nehrkorn material had gone to the Rothschild Collection. Two later lists by Hevers (2004: 357, 2005: 455) noted the presence of this type in AMNH.

The coordinates of Joló (City) are 06.04N, 121.00E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 420).
