LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 676896
, adult male, collected on
Gunung
(= Mount)
Kinabalu
,
8000 ft
,
06.03N
,
116.32E
(Times Atlas),
Sabah
,
Malaysia
, on
16 March 1888
, by
John Whitehead
(no. 2222).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: When Sharpe named
jefferyi
he described the above male and a female (Whitehead no. 2046). Both of these
syntypes
came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Hartert (1919: 124)
listed the male as the type of
jefferyi
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The female,
AMNH 676900
, collected on Gunung Kinabalu on
23 March 1888
by Whitehead is the
paralectotype
. Four additional specimens collected by Whitehead in 1888 have no nomenclatural standing as the two
syntypes
had been designated in the original description.
