Monarcha cinerascens harterti
Meise
Monarcha cinerascens harterti
Meise, 1929: 457
(
Ternate
).
Now
Monarcha cinerascens cinerascens
(Temminck, 1827)
. See

LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 654054
, adult male, collected on
Ternate Island
,
00.48S
,
127.20E
(
White and Bruce, 1986: 491
),
Moluccas
,
Indonesia
, in
September 1896
by William Doherty. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, the type was said to be an adult male collected on
Ternate
in
September 1896
by Doherty and to have ‘‘subsp. nova’’ written on the label of the type. There are
three adult
male specimens collected in
September 1896
by Doherty. In addition to Doherty’s label, two of them have a Rothschild Museum label on which is written ‘‘subsp.’’, but there is no Rothschild Museum label still attached to AMNH 654054. However, it bears a ZMB type label on which Meise has written his new name and a Rothschild type label with reference to the original description. Meise’s entire type series is in AMNH and there is no doubt that AMNH 654054 is Meise’s intended type. I therefore designate it the
lectotype
of
Monarcha cinerascens harterti
. Meise’s type series comprised
five adult
specimens from
Ternate
and
one adult
from Buru.
Paralectotypes
are AMNH 654023 from Kayeli, Buru, and AMNH 654055–654058 from
Ternate
.
Watson et al. (1986c: 503)
recognized
harterti
; del
Hoyo et al. (2006: 303)
placed it in synonymy.
