Phylloscopus trivirgatus benguetensis Ripley and Rabor

Phylloscopus trivirgatus benguetensis Ripley and Rabor, 1958: 64 (Haight’s Place, Benguet, Luzon, Philippine Islands).

Now Phylloscopus trivirgatus benguetensis Ripley and Rabor, 1958 . See Dickinson et al., 1991: 327, 328.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 416890 , adult female, collected at Haight’s Place , 16.38N, 120.44E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 419), Benguet, Luzon, Philippines, on 20 April 1930, by Francisco Rivera.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. The range of benguetensis was given as the ‘‘highlands of Luzon and Mindoro’’ and measurements were given for 17 specimens. Ripley and Rabor undoubtedly borrowed specimens from several institutions and there is no way to tell from the description which might be paratypes.
