Aplonis insularis Mayr, 1931a: 19 View in CoL (Rennell Island).

Now Aplonis insularis Mayr, 1931 View in CoL . See Amadon, 1962a: 80; Dickinson, 2003: 651; Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 399–400; Mayr and Hamlin, 1931; and Craig and Feare, 2009: 718.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 226540 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Rennell Island , Solomon Islands, on 21 May 1930, by William F. Coultas, Walter J. Eyerdam, and Hannibal Hamlin on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 40199).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype but did not enumerate his specimens, although he described males, females, immatures, and juveniles. Excluding the holotype, all specimens of insularis collected on Rennell Island by the Whitney South Sea Expedition in 1928 and 1930 are paratypes: AMNH 223118 About AMNH , 223120 About AMNH , 223121 About AMNH , one male, two females, 28 August–1 September 1928 ; AMNH 226481 About AMNH , male, 18 May 1930 ; AMNH 226537–226539 About AMNH , three males, 16–18 May 1930 ; AMNH 839381–839384 About AMNH , four females, 27–31 August 1928 .

AMNH 226481 had been mistakenly cataloged as Turdus poliocephalus rennellianus in the catalog and was noted as ‘‘not found’’ by LeCroy (2005: 45) when listing type material for the Turdidae ; at some point it had been correctly reidentified as Aplonis insularis and the specimen placed with that species without the catalog having been marked. AMNH 839381–839384 had previously been given invalid catalog numbers and have now been given four current numbers.
