Anthreptes malaccensis (sic) wiglesworthi Hartert

Anthreptes malaccensis (sic) wiglesworthi Hartert, 1902a: 209 (Sulu).

Now Anthreptes malacensis wiglesworthi Hartert, 1902 View in CoL . See Dickinson et al., 1991: 377, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 247.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 685733 View Materials , adult male, collected on Sulu Island , Sulu Archipelago, Philippines, on 1 May 1883, by R.ff. Powell. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Lt. Powell was aboard the Marchesa when the vessel stopped in the Sulu Islands. On 1 May 1883, the ship was anchored at Meimbun (5 Maimbun, 05.56N, 121.02 E, Dickinson et al., 1991: 421) on the south side of Jolo Island (5 Sulu Island ) GoogleMaps ; see Guillemard (1889). In the original description, Hartert did not list the specimens he examined, only saying that all of his specimens from the Sulu Islands were of this form and that the male type was collected on 1 May 1883 ; the above cited holotype is the only male collected on that date. The following Powell specimens are paratypes: Sulu Island , 1883, AMNH 685732 View Materials , male, 26 April , AMNH 685734 View Materials , male, 21 April , AMNH 685735 View Materials , male, 27 April , AMNH 685736 View Materials , female, 1 May , AMNH 685737 View Materials , female, 26 April .

There is no indication on the Powell specimens that they had been part of the Guillemard Collection, and I was unable to determine when Rothschild acquired Guillemard skins (bearing his printed labels) of this form. I consider them possible paratypes: AMNH 685725–685730 View Materials , collected at Maimbun, Sulu Island, in April and May 1883 ; AMNH 685731 View Materials , collected at Parang, Sulu Island, on 26 April 1883. I also do not know when Rothschild acquired the following specimens but also consider them possible paratypes: AMNH 685724 View Materials , collected on Yolo by the Platens on 6 May 1887 and AMNH 685738 View Materials and AMNH 685739 View Materials , collected on Bongao Island by A. Everett in July 1893. Hartert (1902a: 209) also mentioned having examined specimens of wiglesworthi in BMNH .
