COMMENTS
: In the original description, Hartert did not designate a type or say how many specimens he examined.
Hartert (1920: 499)
listed as the type a male collected on Mangole in
November 1897
by Doherty. There are three such specimens in
AMNH
from the Rothschild Collection, but
AMNH 652751
is marked ‘‘Type’’ and bears the Rothschild type label, indicating this was the specimen intended as the type. It has always been so considered, and to remove any ambiguity, I hereby designate
AMNH 652751
the
lectotype
of
Rhinomyias colonus
.
Paralectotypes
in
AMNH
are:
AMNH 652752
and 652753, males,
AMNH 652754
, male juvenile,
AMNH 652755
and 652756, females, all collected on Mangole in
October and November 1897
;
and
AMNH 652757
, female from Sanana (
5
Besi) Island in
November 1897
.
