Mindanao Island

April 1903
, by
Walter Goodfellow
(no. 57).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated Goodfellow’s specimen no. 57 as the
holotype
, and also named the genus
Goodfellowia
at the same time, with
miranda
the type species. He gave the range as Mt. Apo but did not give the number of specimens.
Hartert (1906: 758)
said only that Goodfellow had obtained ‘‘several fine specimens’’ on his first expedition in 1903, on which Hartert’s description of
miranda
was based, and illustrated the species in plate II, figure 2. There are three
paratypes
in AMNH: Apo Volcano,
AMNH 216489
, male,
AMNH 667030, 667031
, females,
April 1903
, Goodfellow nos. 56, 59, 58, respectively. AMNH 216489 was received on exchange from Rothschild in
September 1927
.
