Phylloscopus trochiloides fokiensis Hartert

Phylloscopus trochiloides fokiensis Hartert, 1917b: 43 (Kuatun, Fokien) .

Now Phylloscopus reguloides fokiensis Hartert, 1917 . See Cheng, 1987: 816, and Dickinson, 2003: 591.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 450258 , adult male, collected at Guadun (5 Kuatun), 27.45N, 117.35E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2567), Fujian (5 Fokien), China, on 15 April 1897. From the J. de La Touche Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as type a specimen in the Rothschild Collection with the above data. It is the only such specimen that came to AMNH and has a wing measuring 59 mm. Hartert did not say how many specimens he examined, but three Guadun specimens from the La Touche and Rickett collections, collected in 1897 and labeled fokiensis by Hartert, are here considered Hartert’s type series. Paratypes are: AMNH 450259 , female, 7 April 1897, wing 57 mm, from the Rickett Collection ; and AMNH 450260 , female, 9 April 1897, wing 57 mm, from the La Touche Collection. However, measurements given by Hartert in the original description indicate that other paratypes may exist .
