Additional information
Van Marle (1940) is not clear about the number of specimens examined of this taxon; the sentence "wing male/female 60-64" suggests there were at least 2. As the Coomans de Ruiter part of the former Coomans de Ruiter/Van Marle collection from Sulawesi (now in the RMNH) contains only two birds (a female and an unsexed bird, both from Soputan Mt., 27 Aug 1939), the original series consisted of only three specimens. Mees (1969) in his review of the species apparently examined the holotype only, not the two paratypes.

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.
