Phylloscopus goodsoni Hartert

Phylloscopus goodsoni Hartert, 1910a: 240 (Lei Muimon) .

Now Phylloscopus reguloides goodsoni Hartert, 1910 . See Alström et al., 1995, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 668.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 450282 , adult male, collected at Lei Mui Mon , Hainan Island , 19.00N, 109.00E ( USBGN, 1968b), China, on 12 January 1903, by Zensaku Katsumata (no. 164). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In his original description, Hartert designated as holotype the male collected at Lei Muimon on 12 January 1903. The number ‘‘164’’ given for it is not a unique number and also appears on the second specimen, the paratype, AMNH 450283, male, collected on South Hainan on 22 December 1903 by Katsumata.

This form is usually considered a subspecies of Phylloscopus ricketti , as provisionally suggested by Hartert (1920: 462). Vaurie (1959: 296) included both ricketti and goodsoni as subspecies of P. trivirgatus , without comment; and Cheng (1987: 818–819) placed it in P. cantator , also without comment. Alström et al. (1995) presented morphological evidence that it is better considered a subspecies of P. reguloides .
