Cyornis sanfordi Stresemann

Cyornis sanfordi Stresemann, 1931b: 79 (Matinang-Gebirge: Ile-Ile, 1700 m).

Now Cyornis sanfordi Stresemann, 1931 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 359–360, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 159.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 292579 , adult male, collected on Mount Ile-Ile , 1700 m, 00.58N,

121.48E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2603), Matinan (5 Matinang) Mountains, northern Sulawesi Island (5 Celebes), on 2 November 1930, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 2359). From the Heinrich Expedition 1930.

COMMENTS: Stresemann cited Heinrich’s unique number of the holotype in the original description. The ZMB and L.C. Sanford, for AMNH, jointly sponsored Heinrich’s Expedition. All types were to come to AMNH and the remainder of the specimens were to be divided between the two institutions ( Stresemann, 1931a: 7, 9). In his description, Stresemann did not list his type series ; however, in Stresemann (1940: 78), he listed seven males and two females, including the holotype. Of those, three males and one female came to AMNH, plus an unsexed specimen not listed by Stresemann. The five paratypes at AMNH are: AMNH 292580– 292584 . Other paratypes are probably in ZMB .

Ile-Ile is shown as locality number 26 on the map in Stresemann (1940). Watson et al. (1986b: 360) included this species in Niltava .
