Zosterops kulambangrae
Rothschild and Hartert
Zosterops kulambangrae
Rothschild and Hartert, 1901b: 180
(Kulambangra)
.
Now
Zosterops kulambangrae kulambangrae
Rothschild and Hartert, 1901
. See
Mees, 1961a: 147– 149
, and
van Balen, 2008: 464
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 700752
, adult male, collected on
Kolombangara
(
5
Kulambangra) Island,
08.00S
,
157.10E
(Times Atlas),
Solomon Islands
, on
13 March 1901
, by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 2875).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
No
type was designated in the original description, but male and female were described and the type series was said to comprise four skins collected on
Kolombangara in January
,
February
, and
March 1901
.
Hartert (1920: 436)
listed
Meek’s
specimen no. 2875 as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The
three paralectotypes
are: males,
AMNH 700751
(Meek no. 2881), 14 March
;
AMNH 700753
(2842), 7 March
;
female,
AMNH 700754
(2795), 25 February. None was collected in January
.
I have followed
Mees (1961a: 147–151)
and
van Balen (2008: 464)
in using
kulamban- grae
as the species name for this taxon and for
tetiparius
(below). For discussions of Tristram’s name
rendovae
, see
Mees (1961a: 147– 150
,
1969: 293
),
Mayr (1967: 312–313)
, and
van Balen (2008: 464)
and included references.
