Muscicapula hyperythra pallidipectus Hartert

Muscicapula hyperythra pallidipectus Hartert, 1903b: 52 (Batjan, 5000–7000 ft.).

Now Ficedula hyperythra pallidipectus (Hartert, 1903) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 354–355, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 137.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 605907 , adult male, collected on Bacan (5 Batjan) Island, 00.35S, 127.30E ( USBGN, 1982a), northern Moluccas, Indonesia, in July 1902, by Johannes Waterstradt (no. B.478). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Waterstradt’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description, and he said only that Waterstradt sent a large series including juveniles, collected between 5000 and 7000 ft, and that he also had a female collected by William Doherty. Paratypes in AMNH are AMNH 605907–605914, males, and AMNH 605915–605919, females, with the last specimen being the one collected by Doherty. There are two paratypes in RMNH ( Dekker, 2003: 64).
