Treatment

Zosterops whiteheadi vulcani Hartert, 1903c: 14 (Mt. Apo, Mindanao, 8000 feet).

Now Zosterops montanus vulcani Hartert, 1903 View in CoL . See Mees, 1957: 176–189, Dickinson et al., 1991: 401, and van Balen, 2008: 450.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700141 About AMNH , adult male (not female), collected on Mount Apo , 8000 feet, 06.59N, 125.16E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island, Philippines, in April, 1903, by Walter Goodfellow. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: When he described vulcani, Hartert had a single specimen, labeled as a male, collected by Goodfellow; in the original description the type was listed as a female, but this was corrected without comment by Hartert (1920: 436). Mees (1957: 184) listed this type specimen but considered vulcani a synonym of Z. m. montanus . Specimens collected on Mount Apo by J. Waterstradt in October and November 1903 were collected too late to have been in Hartert’s hand when the description was published on 30 October 1903.
