Dicrurus kuhni
Quick answer
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert did not designate a type, saying only that Kühn had sent six specimens. Hartert (1919: 132) listed Kühn’s specimen no. 3078 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The five paralectotypes are: Larat Island, AMNH 672337 (Kühn’s no. 3078), male, AMNH 672338 – 672340 (3080, 2982, 3075), females, collected 19 – 28 January 1901; Ridool, Larat Island, AMNH 672341 (2907), female, 9 January 1901.
