Description
Sarcops calvus mindorensis Gilliard
Sarcops calvus mindorensis Gilliard, 1949a: 4 (base of Mt. Dulungan, Mindoro Island, Philippine Islands).
Now Sarcops calvus calvus (Linnaeus, 1766). See Amadon, 1956: 36; 1962a: 117; Dickinson et al., 1991: 375; Feare and Craig, 1999: 137; Dickinson, 2003: 653; and Craig and Feare, 2009: 711–712.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 667051, adult male, collected at the base of Mount Dulugan, Mindoro Island, Philippines, in January 1896, by John Whitehead (no. B131). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Gilliard gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed (Gilliard, 1949a: 5) his three paratypes: Mindoro: AMNH 839647 (Dwight Collection no. 31269), male, May 1910, tip of upper mandible broken off; Baco, AMNH 667049, female, 3 January 1899, collected by B. Schmacker; Calapan, AMNH 667050, male, 26 May 1888, J. Steere Coll.
Whitehead’s collection from Mindoro was reported on by Ogilvie-Grant (1896: 469) where he listed this type specimen of Sarcops calvus and quoted Whitehead’s field notes concerning his stay on Mount Dulugan. Whitehead (1899) later published his own field notes on birds he collected in the Philippines in 1893– 1896. Rothschild purchased a large portion of Whitehead’s collections, both directly from Whitehead and from his family after his death, thus this specimen came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Dickinson et al. (1991: 419) place Mount Dulugan close to Mount Halcon, 13.16N, 121.00E.
