Micropus Nehrkorni Blasius

Micropus Nehrkorni Blasius , [1890: 877, not seen] (Davao auf Mindanao).

Now Parus semilarvatus nehrkorni (Blasius, 1890) . See Eck and Martens, 2006: 45, and Gosler and Clement, 2007: 743–744.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 682381 , adult male, collected at Davao, 07.18N, 125.25E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 418), Mindanao Island , Philippines, on 8 August 1889, by C. Platen. From the Nehrkorn Collection (no. 3000) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This form was described in the Braunschweigische Anzeigen of 15 April 1890, No. 87, p. 877 (Hinklemann and Heinze, 1990: 623), and the description was repeated verbatim in Journal für Ornithologie ( Blasius, 1890b: 147), which was also dated April 1890 but apparently not published until August ( Anonymous, 1891: 129; Rand, 1955: 210) or later ( Hartert, 1895b: 487). The type was said to be in the Nehrkorn Collection; Hartert (1920a: 444) noted that Rothschild received this specimen in exchange from Adolf Nehrkorn. It is the only specimen of nehrkorni in AMNH and was apparently the only specimen collected.
