There have been many modifications to this classification in recent years, particularly with the advent of DNA studies, and there is as yet no consensus regarding relationships and arrangement within the Emberizidae.…”

Both pictured birds were collected at Cachabí. Holotype and unique specimen (above) of Nemosia rosenbergi Rothschild, 1898. The very different female had been described earlier, and Rothschild's name is now a synonym of Chrysothlypis salmoni. Holotype and unique specimen (below) of Buthraupis rothschildi Berlepsch, 1897. (Paynter, 1970a). The original description of each taxon has been consulted and the currently accepted name of the taxon has been listed with reference to . In a few cases, more recent studies have been taken into account. Modern names and coordinates of type localities are given when possible and comments on taxonomic history are provided. In this part, 338 names are treated; types of 19 of these are not in AMNH or were not found.This part of the type list, as well as all previous parts, are searchable and available for download from the AMNH Library website: http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/.

“…In 1932, on Mount Mutis, West Timor, two bush warbler specimens were collected at 1,800 m by G. Stein. No account of this expedition was published, and Stein’s original field notes were destroyed during World War II (LeCroy 2008) so no details of the ecology of this bush warbler have been published. These were described by Mayr (1944) as a subspecies of Javan Bush Warbler Locustella montis .…”

SummaryThe Timor Bush Warbler Locustella timorensis was first collected by Georg Stein on Mount Mutis, West Timor in 1932, but there have been no confirmed field observations since. Here we report on the discovery of a new population of bush warbler on Alor (9 September 2009), which prompted a search for, and subsequent rediscovery, of the nominate Timor Bush Warbler (20 December 2009) in Timor-Leste. We also undertook the first bush warbler searches in the mountains on Atauro Island, and the first ornithological exploration of the mountains of Pantar and Wetar islands. On Alor, at least 13 male bush warblers were heard singing from shrub and grass beneath woodland and forest edge at 859-1,250 m. On Timor, at least 40 males were heard during December, April and July from tall grassland below Mount Ramelau (1,720-2,100 m), Timor-Leste. The song structure of the Alor and Timor birds is similar, and close to Javan Bush Warbler L. montis of Java and Bali, as well as to recordings of Russet Bush Warbler L. mandelli of mainland Asia and Benguet Bush Warbler L. seebohmi from the Philippines. The song of the Alor bird is substantially higher pitched (mean min/max 3,233-4,980 kHz) than the Timor bird (2,928-4,761 kHz) and both are substantially higher pitched than Javan birds. Recordings of Russet Bush Warbler from mainland Asia are higher pitched than songs of all insular taxa, and the song of Benguet Bush Warbler is of a similar pitch to the Timor bird. Recent molecular studies have found that divergences between Javan Bush Warbler and the Russet Bush Warbler are slight, and the high degree of song similarity of the Alor and Timor populations to Javan Bush Warbler places them close to the Benguet Bush Warbler complex. The Timor Bush Warbler is recognised as 'Near Threatened' by IUCN, but this will require re-evaluation. On Alor, suitable habitat is extensive and under little threat, but grassland in the uplands of West and East Timor is intensively grazed and regularly burnt. Further field surveys are needed on both Timor and Alor to capture birds, clarify taxonomic relationships using molecular approaches, and further define habitat use and conservation status. Bush warblers were not recorded from Pantar, Atauro and Wetar islands.
