Cryptolopha butleri Hartert

Cryptolopha butleri Hartert (in Hartert and Butler), 1898b: 50 (Gunong Ijau, 4000 feet).

Now Seicercus castaniceps butleri (Hartert, 1898) . See del Hoyo et al., 2006: 678–679.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 450548 , adult male, collected on Gunong Hijau (5 Ijau ) (Green Mountain), 4000 ft, 04.30N, 100.58E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2632), Perak, Malaysia, in March 1898, by A.L. Butler. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, but it was apparent from measurements that more than one specimen was collected. Hartert and Butler (1898: 508) did not add further information. Butler (1899: 10) noted that a number in parentheses after his discussion of a given form indicated how many specimens he had, and that all of the specimens went to the Rothschild Collection. The number ‘‘2’’ follows the writeup of Cryptolopha butleri ( Butler, 1899: 16) . Hartert (1920: 501) listed as the type the male Butler collected in March 1898, thereby designating it the lectotype; the paralectotype is AMNH 450549, adult male, collected on Gunong Hijau, 4000 ft, in April 1898 by Butler.
