Zosterops whiteheadi Hartert, 1903c: 14 (Lepanto, Luzon, 5000 feet high).

Now Zosterops montanus whiteheadi Hartert, 1903 View in CoL . See Mees, 1957: 193–194, Dickinson et al., 1991: 401, and van Balen, 2008: 450.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700139 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Bagnen (5 Bagnin, as on label), 5000 ft, 17.02N, 120.53E (E.C. Dickinson, personal commun.), Lepanto, northern Luzon Island , Philippines, on 14 December 1894, by John Whitehead (no. 819). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Whitehead’s unique field number of the holotype and said that he had a male and a female specimen. The paratype is AMNH 700140, female, collected at Bagnen on 20 December 1894 by John Whitehead (no. 883).

‘‘Bagnin’’ is shown on the map in Whitehead (1899: 83). Between 3 November 1894 and 14 January 1895, Whitehead had stayed for some weeks at Bucay on the Abra River. Then, ill with dysentery, he ascended to an Igorrati village (name not mentioned), where he was based for several weeks ( Whitehead, 1899: 84). Bagnen was perhaps the higher altitude Igorrati village.
