Phylloscopus trochiloides assamensis Hartert

Acanthopneuste trochiloides harterti Stuart Baker, 1913: 36 (Peak near Shillong, Khasia Hills).

Phylloscopus reguloides assamensis Hartert, 1921 . See Watson et al., 1986a: 247, and Rasmussen and Anderton, 2005: 505.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 450245 , immature male, collected on the peak near Shillong , 25.34N, 91.53E ( Lozupone et al., 2004: 160), Khasia Hills, Meghalaya, India, on 13 June 1908, by E.C. Stuart Baker.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stuart Baker designated a male and a female syntype in the Rothschild Collection, collect- ed on the same date. Hartert (1920: 462) designated the male the lectotype. The female paralectotype is AMNH 450246. Both specimens are immature and were marked that they were taken on the nest. Other specimens mentioned in the description have no nomenclatural standing (ICZN, 1999: 77, Art. 72.4.6).

Hartert (1921: 2139) noted that when Acanthopneuste trochiloides harterti is includ- ed in the genus Phylloscopus , it is preoccupied by Phylloscopus bonelli harterti Zedlitz, 1912 ; accordingly he proposed the replacement name, Phylloscopus reguloides assamensis , for which the type specimen is the same.
