There are two males and one female from Nias that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. By giving Raap’s number, Hartert (1922b: 366) designated the above specimen the lectotype. Paralectotypes are AMNH 564962 (Raap no. 484), male (originally sexed as a female but changed to male and in male plumage), collected on Gunung Limbu in October 1897, and AMNH 564963 (Raap no. 292), female, collected at Gunung Sitoli, 01°16′N, 97°34′E (Times Atlas), Nias Island, July 1897.
