Horeites flavolivaceus oblitus Mayr

Horeites flavolivaceus oblitus Mayr (in Stanford and Mayr), 1941: 245 (Chapa, Tonkin).

Now Cettia flavolivacea oblita ( Mayr, 1941) . See Robson, 2000: 432, del Hoyo et al., 2006: 594, and Olsson et al., 2006.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 291724 , adult male, collected at Cha Pa (5 Chapa), 22.20N, 103.50E (Times Atlas), North Vietnam, on 21 December 1929 by J. Delacour and P. Jabouille.

COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. This specimen was sexed on the field label as ‘‘?’’ but ‘‘[s]’’ was added, presumably on the basis of measurements. In working up this collection, Mayr (in Stanford and Mayr, 1940: 686) borrowed many specimens from various collections. He gave measurements for six males and three females, but only the holotype is in AMNH.
