Stoparola panayensis nigriloris Hartert

Stoparola panayensis nigriloris Hartert, 1904c: 80 (Mt. Apo, Mindanao) .

Now Eumyias panayensis nigriloris (Hartert, 1904) . See Hartert, 1920: 490, and Dickinson et al., 1991: 346.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 605162 , adult male, collected on Mount Apo , 3000 ft, 06.59N, 125.16E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island, Philippine Islands, in October 1903, by Johannes Waterstradt. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as the holotype a male collected by Waterstradt on Mt. Apo in October 1903. The above specimen is the only male that came to AMNH, collected in that month, and it bears a Rothschild type label. Paratypes are: AMNH 605161 , collect- ed by Walter Goodfellow on Mt. Apo in April 1903 ; and AMNH 605163–605171 , collected by Waterstradt on Mt. Apo. in October and November 1903. The dates on Waterstradt’s specimens are 1903, except for AMNH 605164 , which is dated November 1900. As there is no indication that Waterstradt had collected in 1900 on Mt. Apo , this is perhaps a slip of the pen. However, all of the Rothschild labels have these dates incorrectly copied as 1908 (after the name was proposed!), and they were so cataloged at AMNH. A correction has been inserted in the AMNH catalog and the labels so noted .

Goodfellow’s specimens from Mt. Apo are known to have been in Hartert’s hands when nigriloris was proposed, as new forms from that collection were named in 1903 ( Hartert, 1903e).

The species panayensis is frequently included in the broad genus Muscicapa (e.g., Vaurie, 1953b, and Watson et al., 1986b: 323).
