2147. Hill Myna Gracula religiosa Linnaeus, 1758

The only Gracula ȱ listedȱ byȱ Rafflesȱ (1822)ȱ andȱ byȱ Vigorsȱ (Rafflesȱ 1830)ȱ wasȱ G. religiosa Linnaeus. ȱInȱ1825,ȱStanleyȱlistedȱtheȱunsexedȱspecimenȱgivenȱtoȱhimȱbyȱRafflesȱasȱ‘Greaterȱ Mias Gracula ’ without a species epithet. Lack of a traceable specimen in NML, or a number in Moore’s stock books, suggests it was not part of the 1851 bequest.
