Treatment

Buchanga leucophaea batakensis Robinson and Kloss, 1919: 125 (Bandar Baroe, N.E. Sumatra).

Now Dicrurus leucophaeus batakensis ( Robinson and Kloss, 1919) . See Kloss, 1931: 358; Chasen and Hoogerwerf, 1941: 120–121; Vaurie, 1949b: 258–259; 1962: 145; van Marle and Voous, 1988: 159; Dickinson, 2003: 492; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 220–221.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 672067 , adult male, 10 April 1917, GoogleMaps AMNH 672070 , female, 16 April 1917, collected at Bandarbaru (= Bandar Baroe ), 03.16N, 98.33E ( van Marle and Voous, 1988: 210), Utara, Sumatra, Indonesia, by A.F.C.A. van Heyst (nos. 245, 281). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Robinson and Kloss designated two syntypes of batakensis, giving van Heyst’s field numbers for them; both of the original labels are marked ‘‘Type.’’ Only AMNH 672067 bears a Rothschild type label. Hartert did not list the type of batakensis in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection, and I have found no evidence of lectotype designation. I have added an AMNH type label to AMNH 672070. All eight of the specimens listed by Robinson and Kloss came to AMNH, but because syntypes were designated in the original description, the other specimens have no nomenclatural standing ( ICZN, 1999: 77, Art. 72.4.6).
