Pericrocotus yvettae Bangs

Pericrocotus yvettae Bangs, 1921: 583 (Malipa, Burma border, 3000 feet altitude).

Now Pericrocotus ethologus yvettae Bangs, 1921 . See Dickinson and Dekker, 2002a: 18–20, and Dickinson et al., 2002a: 43.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 143365 , adult male, collected at Ma­li­pa, 3000 ft, 23°42′N, 98°45′E (Times Atlas), Myanmar (on the Yunnan border), on 10 March 1917, by Roy Chapman Andrews and Edmund Heller (no. 561). From the Asiatic Zoological Expedition, 1916–1917.

COMMENTS: A second specimen, AMNH 143367 , the only female collected by the expedition, was doubtfully referred to this taxon by Bangs (1921: 584), but he incorrectly cited the locality as Ma­li­pa ; it was, in fact, from Tai­pingpu, Yunnan, China, and has been reidentified as P. brevirostris .
