COMMENTS:
Rothschild
did not designate a type in the original description or indicate how many specimens he examined but gave the range as
Maui Island
.
Hartert (1919a: 171)
, by citing
Palmer’s
unique field number ‘‘1764’’ for the above specimen, designated it the
lectotype
;
it had been marked ‘‘
Type’
’ by
Rothschild. The
following
paralectotypes
, all collected by Palmer on Maui, are in
AMNH
:
AMNH 453042
(
Palmer

.
Rothschild (1893f: 113)
had considered
mirabilis
a species in the
Meliphagidae
and had described the genus
Palmeria
at the same time. He (
Rothschild, 1893e
: ix) soon realiz- ed his error and noted that
mirabilis
was a synonym of
Himatione dolei
,
which should be placed in his genus
Palmeria
.
Wilson and Evans (1890
–1899: 15–16, unnumbered pl.) discussed and illustrated this species.
In August and September, Palmer (
Rothschild, 1900
: (Di)) was on the slopes of Mt. Haleakala,
20.43N
,
156.10 W
(Times atlas).
