Description
Corvus coronoides connectens Stresemann
Corvus coronoides connectens Stresemann, 1916: 281 (Miyako-shima).
Now Corvus macrorhynchos connectens Stresemann, 1916. See Hartert, 1919: 126; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 273; Dickinson et al., 2004c: 95– 102; 2004b: 124; Morioka et al., 2005: 33–34; and dos Anjos, 2009: 631.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 674321, adult male, collected on Miyako Island (= Miyakoshima), 24.55/ 24.38N, 124.41/ 125.19E (Morioka et al., 2005: 151), Ryukyu Islands, Japan, on 5 July 1904, by Owston’s Japanese Collectors (no. 1642). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, the type was said to be in the Rothschild Collection and to bear the unique collector’s number 1642. Stresemann also gave wing measurements for six adults and three juveniles from Okinawa and five adults from Miyako, collected by the same collectors, all apparently in the Rothschild Collection (measurements given without an asterisk). There are instead 10 specimens from Okinawa and four from Miyako. The 13 paratypes are: Miyako, AMNH 674322– 674324, three females, 5–7 July 1904; Okinawa, AMNH 674325–674334, eight males, two females, 5 May–22 July 1904, all collected by Owston’s Japanese collectors.
Ogawa (1905: 195–196) also studied these specimens under the name Corvus macrorhynchus levaillanti and listed all 14 specimens, although he did not give measurements for all of them. The male designated as holotype by Stresemann was given the number 76 by Ogawa.
