Now Dicrurus macrocercus harterti Stuart Baker, 1918 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1928: 191; Vaurie, 1949b: 241; 1962: 142; Dickinson, 2003: 491; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 222– 223.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 671951 About AMNH , adult male, collected at T’ai-pei (= Tai-Peh), 25.05N, 121.32E (Times Atlas), Taiwan (= Formosa), on 6 April 1896, by collectors for Alan Owston. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stuart Baker designated the male collected on 6 April 1896 by Owston’s collectors and in the Rothschild Collection as the type of harterti ; AMNH 671951 About AMNH is the only specimen collected on that date. Stuart Baker did not enumerate his specimens but gave the range as ‘‘ Formosa. ’’ Owston specimens collected on Taiwan before the publication of the description would have been available to him. I therefore consider the following Taiwan specimens paratypes of harterti: Bankoro, AMNH 671922–671926 About AMNH , two males, three females, 15–23 April 1907 ; Kaisanko , AMNH 671927 About AMNH , male, 12 April 1896, Sanchifunniochi, AMNH 671936 About AMNH , male, 9 April 1896 ; Sankocho , AMNH 671937 About AMNH , 671938 About AMNH , two males, 20–29 May 1907 ; Sharaikisha , AMNH 671939 About AMNH , AMNH 671940 About AMNH , two males, 3–5 April 1907 ; Taipeh, AMNH 671941– 671950 About AMNH , 671952 About AMNH , 671953 About AMNH , nine males, two females, one sex?, 2–16 April 1896, 21 September–10 November 1896 ; Pankio near Taipeh, AMNH 671954 About AMNH , female, 23 September 1896 ; Fungshau near Takau, AMNH 671955 About AMNH , male, 14 October 1896. Other Owston specimens from Taiwan in AMNH were either undated or give no indication of when they came into Rothschild’s possession (including the syntypes of cathoeca , see above) .
