Fulvetta chrysotis amoena Mayr

Fulvetta chrysotis amoena Mayr [in Stanford and Mayr], 1941a: 81 (Fansipan, Tonkin).

Now Alcippe chrysotis amoena (Mayr, 1941) . See Robson, 2000: 465.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 291214 , adult male, collected on Fan Si Pan , 228199N, 1038469E (Times Atlas), Vietnam, on 16 December 1929, by Jean Delacour and Pierre Jabouille (no. 2860).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Delacour (1930: 589) did not say how many specimens of this species were collected, nor did Mayr (in Stanford and Mayr, 1941a: 81) say how many specimens he examined. However, Mayr’s type series comprised the specimens deposited in AMNH from the 1929 Fifth Expedition to French Indo­China, of which there were three in addition to the holotype. The paratypes are AMNH 219213 , male, 24 November 1929, and AMNH 219215 , female, 10 December 1929, both from Fan Si Pan ; and AMNH 219216 , male, 14 November 1929, from Chapa .
