Tchitrea paradisi borneensis Hartert

Tchitrea paradisi borneensis Hartert, 1916b: 75 (Bejalong, Sarawak).

Now Terpsiphone paradisi borneensis (Hartert, 1916) . See Smythies, 2000: 560.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651931 , adult male, collected at Bejalong , 02.26N, 112.39E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2631), Sarawak, Malaysia, in June 1903, by Brook (no. 5). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as type a male in the Rothschild Museum collected at Bejalong. AMNH 651931 is the only such specimen. Hartert did not indicate how many specimens he had examined ; however, the following six specimens would have been in the Rothschild Collection by 1916 and are considered paratypes: AMNH 651932 , adult male collected on 11 November 1902, number 15 ; AMNH 651933 , adult male collected on 1 January 1903, number 4, at Balingean, Sarawak [both of these specimens have similar field labels on which the handwriting matches that of the holotype, but the Rothschild labels do not mention Brook as the collector] ; AMNH 651934 , [adult male plumage] collected on Gunong Mulu in March 1898 by J. Waterstradt ; AMNH 651935 , adult male collected at Sandakan on 15 April 1885 ; AMNH 651936 , adult female collected on the Benkoker River on 18 September 1888 ; and AMNH 651937 , adult female collected at Sandakan on 15 April 1885, with the final three specimens having been collect- ed by John Whitehead (nos. 140, 311, and 141, respectively). Five additional specimens of this form from Borneo came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection but have no date of collection, so I have not considered them paratypes .
