COMMENTS
: No type was designated in the original description, but
Hartert (1920: 494)
listed the above specimen as the type, citing Kühn’s field number, thereby designating it the
lectotype
.
Hartert (1900a: 15)
described the male, female, and immature but did not say how many specimens he had. There are now in AMNH nine Damar specimens in addition to the
lectotype
, collected by Kühn in
October–November 1898
; all are
paralectotypes
: AMNH 607031, Kuway; AMNH 607032–607038, Wulur; and AMNH 607039, Batoe Merat.
Dekker (2003: 70)
listed a ‘‘syntype’’ in RMNH, but because Hartert did not say how many specimens he examined, it is not possible to determine whether that specimen was part of his type series.
