Callaeops periophthalmica Ogilvie-Grant

Callaeops periophthalmica Ogilvie-Grant, 1895a: 18 (‘‘Luzon’’).

Now Terpsiphone atrocaudata periophthalmica (Ogilvie-Grant, 1895) . See Dickinson et al., 1991: 359.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651842 , adult male, purchased in Manila in September 1894 by John Whitehead. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: A single specimen was purchased (see Whitehead, 1899: 108, and Hartert, 1916a). Richmond (1917) discussed this specimen and considered Terpsiphone nigra MacGregor, 1907 a synonym and Batan Island, 20.26N, 121.58E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 416), the collecting locality of the holotype of Callaeops periophthalmica . Hartert (1920: 499) accepted this analysis but retained the genus Tchitrea .
