Anthreptes malacensis citrinus Stresemann

Anthreptes malacensis citrinus Stresemann, 1932: 107 (Wawo 50 m).

Now Anthreptes malacensis celebensis Shelley, 1878 . See Rand, 1967: 213, White and Bruce, 1986: 403–404, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 247.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 300102 , adult female, collected at Wawo , 50 m, 03.41S, 121.02E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2613), southeast Sulawesi (5 Celebes, as on label), Indonesia, on 21 January 1932, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 6658).

COMMENTS: Stresemann gave Heinrich’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and noted ( Stresemann, 1940a: 59) that he had 20 specimens from four localities. Heinrich’s expedition was jointly sponsored by Walter Rothschild, Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH, and ZMB. By the time the material was published, the Rothschild Collection had been purchased by AMNH and two-thirds of the specimens came to New York. The specimens that are stamped with an ‘‘S’’ within a circle were Sanford’s share for AMNH. Paratypes in AMNH are: Paleleh , AMNH 293214 (Heinrich no. 1975), male, 3 October 1930, AMNH 293215 (2187), male, 20 October 1930, AMNH 293216 (1823), female, 27 September 1930, AMNH 293217 (1854), female, 28 September 1930, AMNH 293218 (1928), female, 2 October 1930, AMNH 300099 (1853), male, 28 September 1930 ; Lalolei, AMNH 300100 (5933), male, 5 December 1931, AMNH 300101 (5958), male, 6 December 1931 ; Wawo, AMNH 300103 (6757), female, 3 February 1931 ; Paleleh, AMNH 300104 (1976), female immature, 3 October 1930 ; Lalolei, AMNH 300105 (5959), female immature, 6 December 1931, AMNH 300106 (5965), female immature, 7 December 1931. The remaining paratypes are in ZMB .

A misprint in Stresemann (1940a: 59) indicated that there were two males collected at Wawo; however, both specimens, including the holotype were sexed by Heinrich as females. Rand (1967: 213) recognized citrinus, but more recent authors have not .
