Cyornis banyumas peromissa Hartert

Cyornis banyumas peromissa Hartert, 1920: 491 (Selayer, south of Celebes).

Now Cyornis rufigastra peromissus Hartert, 1920 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 360, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 156.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 605396 , adult male, collected on Salayar (5 Selayar) Island, 06.05S, 120.30E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491), south of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, in November 1895, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1920: 491) described peromissa within his list of types in the Rothschild Collection and designated as type a male specimen collected on Salayar Island by Everett in November 1895. There are three such specimens, but AMNH 605396 bears a Rothschild type label and the Rothschild Collection label is noted ‘‘type of peromissa’’ in Hartert’s hand. It was cataloged as the type when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH. Because this specimen was intended as the type by Hartert and has been so considered in the literature since its description, I hereby designate AMNH 605396 the lectotype of Cyornis banyumas peromissa in order to avoid misinterpretation when refering to the older literature. Paralectotypes are: AMNH 605397 and 605398, males, and AMNH 605399, female, all collected on Salayar Island by Everett in November 1895.

Watson et al. (1986b: 372) included the species rufigastra in Niltava .
