Gracula enganensis Salvadori

Gracula enganensis Salvadori, 1892: 137 (Engano) .

Now Gracula enganensis Salvadori, 1892 . See Amadon, 1962a: 119, Hoogerwerf, 1963: 155– 158, Feare and Craig, 1999: 147, Dickinson, 2003: 654, and Craig and Feare, 2009: 714.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 666757 , adult male, collected at Bua-bua , Enggano Island, 05.24S, 102.16E ( van Marle and Voous, 1988: 211), Indonesia, on 2 June 1891, by Elio Modigliani (no. 129) ; AMNH 666758 , adult female, collected at Kifa-iuc , Enggano Island, Indonesia, on 6 May 1891, by Elio Modigliani (no. 13). From the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: When Salvadori described G. enganensis he had 13 specimens, each denoted by a letter. The male listed above is Salvadori’s specimen ‘‘e’’ and the female is his specimen ‘‘g,’’ and they are so noted on both Modigliani’s and the Rothschild labels. The date on the male was miscopied onto the Rothschild label, the correct date being 2 June 1891. These syntypes had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection. There are also three syntypes in MSNG ( Arbocco et al., 1979: 244) and one in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 50).
