Phyllergates cucullatus philippinus Hartert

Phyllergates cucullatus philippinus Hartert, 1897d: 517 (Benguet, North Luzon).

Now Orthotomus cucullatus philippinus (Hartert, 1897) . See Dickinson et al., 1991: 335.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 592481 , adult male, collected in Benguet, northern Luzon, on 2 March 1894, by John Whitehead (no. 276). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert only said that the type, in the Rothschild Collection, was collected in Benguet by John Whitehead and referred to Ogilvie-Grant’s report on this collection, where Ogilvie-Grant (1894b: 510) identified the species as Phyllergates cinereicollis without giving the number of specimens. Later, Hartert (1920: 468) listed Whitehead’s specimen number 276 as the type, thus designating it the lectotype. A second Benguet specimen, AMNH 592480, female collected on 10 February 1894, is a paralectotype. A third Luzon specimen, AMNH 592482, collected by Whitehead in Lepanto on 15 December 1894 and reported on by Ogilvie-Grant (1895d: 448), may also be a paralectotype, but I do not know whether it was in Rothschild’s possession and available to Hartert when P. c. philippinus was described.
