Now Monarcha cinerascens cinerascens (Temminck, 1827) . See Mees, 1965: 184–186 , White and Bruce, 1986: 368 , Filardi and Smith, 2005 , and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 303 . 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.
