COMMENTS: Blanford did not designate a type in the original description but based his description on a male and a female specimen, noting that the female may be a young male. The specimens were sent to Blanford by Mandelli. Hartert (1919 a: 156) listed the male as the type of rubescens, thereby designating it the lectotype. Rothschild had received this specimen with the Elwes Collection and its label was annotated in Blandford’s hand ‘‘ Type described P. Z. S. 1871, p. 693, pl. lxxiv. W. T. B. ’’ Hartert did not know what happened to the female, ‘‘ which came to Blanford together with the male; probably it has been lost somewhere. ’’
