LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 561113
, adult male, collected on
Alor Island
,
Lesser Sunda Islands
,
Indonesia
, in
May 1897
, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1898a: 458)
had ‘‘half a dozen specimens from Alor’’ when he named this taxon, but did not designate a type. Five came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Hartert (1922b: 371)
designated a male collected in
May 1897
as the
lectotype
; the above male is the only one collected in May. A second male, AMNH 561114, collected in
April 1897
, and
three females
, AMNH 561115–561117, collected in
May 1897
, are
paralectotypes
.
Hartert (1898a: 455)
noted that Everett ‘‘collected chiefly in the eastern end of the island (Irána), where there was a small river’’ and that he had not been able to collect on the 6000 foot mountain that is on the eastern end, due to a severe injury to his leg.
