Oriolus vulneratus

Quick answer

COMMENTS: Only Whitehead’s specimens collected on his first expedition to Kinabalu in 1887 were included by Sharpe (1887) in the original description; he based vulneratus on adult males, without stating how many specimens he had. Later, he (Sharpe, 1889: 186) listed his specimens from Whitehead’s 1887 expedition; the two syntypes listed above are specimens ‘‘ b’ ’ and ‘‘ d’ ’ in his list. In addition, he had an immature male and a female. Those specimens are also in AMNH but were not part of Sharpe’s type series. Hartert did not mention these syntypes in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection; AMNH type labels have been added.
