LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 218045
, immature male, collected on
Guadalcanal
(
5
Guadalcanar)
Island
,
Solomon Islands
, on
25 July 1927
, by
Rollo H. Beck
on the
Whitney
South Sea Expedition
(no. 27052).
COMMENTS: When this species was originally described, part of the description was omitted and the listing of the type of
Pachycepala pectoralis
whitneyi
, the next form discussed by Hartert, was placed so that it appeared to refer to the type of
implicata
, as noted by
Mayr (1932a: 2)
. Thus, no type was designated for
P. implicata
, although Hartert listed his
four specimens
, referring to them by their Whitney Expedition field number. Hartert, however, did write ‘‘
implicata
’’ and ‘‘Type’’ on the label of the
lectotype
and color the end of the label red.
Mayr (1932a: 2)
, noting that Hartert had intended this specimen as his type, designated AMNH 218045 as the
lectotype
of
P. implicata
. Hartert had considered the specimen an almost adult male, but a fully adult male specimen received after the publication of Hartert’s description showed that the
lectotype
was an immature male.
Mayr (1932a: 2)
then described the adult male, but Hartert’s type series comprises only the
four specimens
that he saw.
Paratypes
are:
AMNH 218044
(Whitney no. 26855), immature male, collected
22 July 1927
;
AMNH 218046
(27055), immature (sexed as male, but perhaps female),
27 July 1927
; and
AMNH 218048
(27053), female,
25 July 1927
. On
14 July 1927
, the expedition vessel,
France
, anchored in a bay near Cape Hunter and the collecting party went eastward to the ‘‘big river,’’ spending 20–28 July inland, ascending to over
4000 ft.
The river is the Itina (sometimes spelled Ithina) River,
09.48S
,
159.51E
(USBGN, 1974).
