Dendrobiastes hyperythra alifurus Stresemann

Dendrobiastes hyperythra alifurus Stresemann, 1912b: 330 (Gunung Fogha (Buru) 5000 Fuss).

Now Ficedula hyperythra alifura (Stresemann, 1912) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 354–355, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 137.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 605920 , adult female, collected on Mount Madang (5 Gunung Fogha), 5000 ft, Buru Island, 03.24S, 126.40E ( USBGN, 1982a), Moluccas, Indonesia, on 26 February 1912, by Erwin Stresemann (no. 1076) on the II. Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann gave his field number of the holotype and noted that he had seven males and eight females, including the holotype. There are seven males and six females now in AMNH, including the holotype. This includes three males and a female collected on Mt. Madang by Kühn in 1902, all of which would have been available to Stresemann. Two females are unaccounted for. There is also an unsexed immature that would have been available to Stresemann, but it is not counted in his totals. The 13 paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 605921–605933. Stresemann’s (1914b) report on the avifauna of Buru included an account of his collection and a summary of earlier collections ( LeCroy, 1995).
