Type host: Molpastes leucogenys leucogenys (Gray) = Pycnonotus leucogenys (Gray) .

Type locality: Kullu [as Kulu], India .

Type material: Holotype male [slide NHML010658143 View Materials ] deposited in the NHML. This slide, labelled as “ TYPE ”, contains two males, one circled and assumed to be the holotype, but Ansari (1951: 143) only listed the holotype. Therefore, the other male has no type status.
