Prionochilus inexpectatus
Hartert, 1895a: 64
(Luzon, Mindoro)
.
Now
Dicaeum bicolor inexpectatum
(Hartert, 1895)
.
See
Salomonsen, 1960b: 24–25
,
Dickinson et al., 1991: 391
, and
Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 374–375
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 698466
, adult male, collected on
northern Mindoro
, on
30 December 1894
, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that the
type
of
inexpectatus
was in the Rothschild Collection and gave the range as ‘‘Luzon, Mindoro,’’ adding that all of the specimens were collected by Everett.
Hartert (1920a: 430)
listed the single specimen collected by Everett on northern Mindoro on
30 December 1894
as the
type
of
P. inexpectatus
, thereby designating it the lecto-
type. This designation effectively restricted the type locality to northern Mindoro, and
Parkes (1971: 50)
pointed out that
Salomonsen (1960b: 24
;
1967: 181
) was incorrect in listing the type locality as Luzon. There are
eight paralectotypes
in AMNH: northern Mindoro,
1 December 1894
,
AMNH 698467
, male,
AMNH 698468
, female,
AMNH 698469
, female; southern Luzon, no date,
