ResumoThe Flame Minivet ( Pericrocotus flammeus) ranges from the Indian subcontinent across the mainland of southern Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines.It is highly polytypic: 17 races were admitted by Deignan (1960).The most recent work on Philippine birds (duPont, 1971: 243-244) lists five subspecies (one described after Deignan's list appeared) from that archipelago, of which two are attributed to the large island of Mindanao: P. f johnstoniae Ogilvie-Grant, 1905, and P. f gonzalesi Ripley and Rabor, 1961.
