Cryptolopha everetti waterstradti Hartert

Cryptolopha everetti waterstradti Hartert, 1903a: 9 (Batjan) .

Now Phylloscopus poliocephalus waterstradti (Hartert, 1903) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 348–349, and del Hoyo et al., 2006, 671–672.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 450390 , adult female, collected on Bacan (5 Batjan) Island, 00.35S, 127.30E ( USBGN, 1982a), northern Moluccas, Indonesia, in July 1902, by Johannes Waterstradt (no. B.81). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Waterstradt’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said that his type series consisted of 1 specimen from Obi Island and 31 from Bacan, including the holotype. Hartert’s (1903b) paper on the birds of Bacan included specimens collected by Doherty and Waterstradt on the island, but all of the paratypes of waterstradti were collected by Waterstradt. Paratypes that came to AMNH include AMNH 450381 collected on Obi on 16 April 1902, and 3 of the 30 Bacan specimens: AMNH 450381–450389, collected in June and July 1902 at 5000–7000 ft. There are two paratypes in RMNH ( Dekker, 2003: 61).
