Chlamydochaera jefferyi Sharpe

Chlamydochaera jefferyi Sharpe, 1887: 439 (Kina Balu, Northern Borneo).

Now Chlamydochaera jefferyi Sharpe, 1887 . See Smythies, 1981: 274, and Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 521.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 562821 , adult male, collected on Mt. Kinabalu , 06°03′N, 116°32′E (Times Atlas), 3000 ft, on 7 March 1887, by John Whitehead (no. 1078). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Sharpe did not designate a type in the original description. There were only two specimens of this species collected by Whitehead in 1887 ( Sharpe and Whitehead, 1889a: 191). Hartert (1922b: 375) designated this specimen the lectotype. It is marked ‘‘type’’ and signed ‘‘RBS’’. The AMNH did not receive the female collected in 1887. The genus was also named at this time.

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 521) followed Ames (1975: 130), Ahlquist et al. (1984: 135–138), and Olson (1987) in placing this species in the Turdinae . Most recent authors agree with this placement; the species is included here because the type list follows the Peters Check­list order.
