2156 [2212] and 2157 [2212b]. Long-billed Partridge Rhizothera longirostris ( Temminck, 1815) View in CoL
In 1825, Stanley listed a male (2156) and female (2157) of ‘Curve-billed partridge’ under the combinationȱofȱtheȱnewȱepithetȱintroducedȱbyȱRafflesȱ(1822)— Tetrao curvirostris —with the genus Perdix (i.e. Perdix curvirostra ),ȱasȱinȱVigors’ȱcatalogueȱ(Rafflesȱ1830).ȱTheȱskinsȱofȱtheȱ relaxed mounts are at NML, accession numbers D2212 (the male) and D2212b (female), and had been labelled with red tags as ‘type of Tetrao curvirostra ȱRaffles’.ȱHowever,ȱtheȱprobableȱ collection date of these specimens (1824) would make this impossible. The two syntypes at NHMUK (female no. 1880.1.1.4552, male no. 1880.1.1.4557) are both labelled as ‘co-types’ onȱHorsfield’sȱlabels,ȱwhichȱreadȱ‘ Perdix curvirostris ȱRaffles,ȱRaffles,ȱSumatra’,ȱandȱrecordedȱ inȱtheȱregisterȱasȱ‘Loc.ȱSumatra,ȱPres.ȱbyȱIndiaȱMuseumȱ(Raffles)’.ȱBesidesȱtheȱ‘ curvirostris ’ typesȱthereȱappearȱtoȱbeȱnoȱotherȱspecimensȱofȱthisȱspeciesȱcollectedȱforȱRafflesȱinȱNHMUK.ȱ An image of a female among the post- Fame drawings (NHD 47.40; Noltie 2009; Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ) could represent Stanley’s specimen.
