Hirundo striolata formosae Mayr, 1941: 370 (Naihokosho, Central Formosa).

Now Cecropis striolata striolata Schlegel, 1844 View in CoL . See

Dickinson and Dekker, 2001b: 136–137.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 560508 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Naihokosho , Taiwan, National Republic of China, on 22 June 1907, by collectors for Alan Owston (no. 105). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number was cited in the original description. There are three paratypes: AMNH 560507 About AMNH , female, Bankoro , 9 May 1907, collected by collectors for Alan Owston ; AMNH 95529 About AMNH , immature male, 7 September 1907 ; and AMNH 95530 About AMNH , female, 16 January 1908. These latter two specimens are labeled only ‘‘ Formosa’ ’ and bear labels from the Sapporo Museum of Natural History. They were received by AMNH in exchange from the Imperial College of Agriculture in 1909 and are labeled ‘‘ formosae ’’ in Mayr’s hand .

This species is usually cited as having been described by Temminck and Schlegel, 1847. However, Mees (1971: 238) called attention to the fact that previously it had been sufficiently described by Schlegel in 1844.
