Additional information
According to Van Bemmel & Voous (1951), also the following birds were examined: one adult male each from Muna and Butung in the Elbert collection in the SMF, and two further males and one female from these islands taken by Elbert, probably in the MZB. This form is put into synonymy of A. rhodogaster rhodogaster by E. Stresemann & D. Amadon (in Mayr & Cottrell 1979), but the two adults examined are clearly paler and more vinous-pink (less bright rufous) below than a large series of nominate rhodogaster from N Sulawesi in ZMA and RMNH.
Measurements
As far as types in the ZMA are concerned, all measurements were taken by C.S. Roselaar, unless otherwise noted, using the methods as described in Svensson (1992) and comparable with the data published in the Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds. All are in mm, and are given to the nearest mm when taken with a ruler and to one-tenth of a mm when measured with calipers.
