Dicaeum nigrilore Hartert

Dicaeum nigrilore Hartert, 1904d: 8 (Mt. Apo, Southern Mindanao, 3000 feet above the sea).

Now Dicaeum nigrilore nigrilore Hartert, 1904 . See Salomonsen, 1960b: 20, Dickinson et al., 1991: 389–390, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 374.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698360 , adult male, collected on Mt. Apo , 3000 ft, 06.59N, 125.16E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island , Philippines, in October 1903, by Johannes (5 John) Waterstradt (no. W. 302.a). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Waterstradt’s field number of the holotype in the original description; both male and female were described. The number of specimens was not given, but Hartert (1920a: 430) recorded that Waterstradt had sent 13 specimens from Mt. Apo, some of them young. Hartert (1920b: 358), said ‘‘John Waterstradt collected not less than 14 specimens …’’ Fourteen specimens came to AMNH. The 13 paratypes are: Mt. Apo, October and November 1903, 3 males and 10 females, AMNH 698358, AMNH 698359, AMNH 698361–698371. I did not find AMNH 698363 in the collection, and it was perhaps exchanged to another institution without having been marked in the catalog. AMNH 698364 is the specimen illustrated in Hartert (1920b: 358 and pl. VI).
