Description

Rhipidura rufiventris finitima Hartert

Rhipidura rufiventris finitima Hartert, 1918b: 59 (Kisoei).

Now Rhipidura rufiventris finitima Hartert, 1918. See Schodde and Mathews, 1977: 23, White and Bruce, 1986: 373–375, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 238.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651012, adult male, collected on Kasiui (5 Kisoei) Island, 04.30S, 131.40E (White and Bruce, 1986: 490), Watubela Group, Kai Islands, Indonesia, on 10 (not 13) March 1900, by Heinrich Kühn (no. 2084). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Kühn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. He did not say how many specimens he examined from Kasiui and Tioor islands, the range given for the form. Paratypes in AMNH, all collected by Kühn, are: AMNH 651003–651008, Tioor (5 Teoor), October and November 1899; and AMNH 651009–651011, 651013, and 651014, Kasiui, March 1900. Of these, I did not find AMNH 651005 in the collection.

Schodde and Mathews (1977: 23) synonymized finitima with R. f. assimilis G.R. Gray.
