Additional information
The collecting date of the holotype is 29 May according to the original label, not 26 May as stated by Van Marle (1940). The type series was said to include 10 birds (Van Marle 1940), of which seven are listed above; as 4 other paratypes (3 adults and an immature) went with the Coomans de Ruiter collection to the RMNH, the series may in fact have consisted of 11 birds. This taxon is valid according to E. Mayr (in Mayr & Cottrell 1986).
Measurements
As far as types in the ZMA are concerned, all measurements were taken by C.S. Roselaar, unless otherwise noted, using the methods as described in Svensson (1992) and comparable with the data published in the Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds. All are in mm, and are given to the nearest mm when taken with a ruler and to one-tenth of a mm when measured with calipers.
