Description
Dicrurus dohertyi Hartert
Dicrurus dohertyi Hartert, 1902d: 441 (Obi Major, Central Moluccas).
Now Dicrurus hottentottus guillemardi (Salvadori, 1890). See Hartert, 1919: 132; Vaurie, 1949b: 301; 1962: 151; White and Bruce, 1986: 317; Dickinson, 2003: 492–493; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 213–214.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 672614, adult male, collected on Obi Major, 01.30S, 127.45E (White and Bruce, 1986: 491), Moluccas, Indonesia, in September 1897, by William Doherty. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that Doherty had sent ‘‘a series’’ from Obi Major and noted that the type was a male collected in September 1897 that had the eye dark brown and bill and feet black. There are two males collected in September 1897, but AMNH 672614 is the only one of the series that has soft parts colors recorded; they match those of the description of the type. The original Doherty label on this specimen is marked ‘‘ Type: Dicrurus dohertyi,’’ and it bears a Rothschild type label.
In the original description, Hartert gave measurements of three males and two females, but there are seven specimens in the type series, all from Obi Major, collected by Doherty in 1897. The six paratypes are: AMNH 672613, male, September; AMNH 672615, male, October; AMNH 672616, female, October; AMNH 672617–672619, females, September.
Hartert (1919: 132) was already aware that he had overlooked the name guillmardi when he named dohertyi.
