,

the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that the type was from Sudest. Later, he (
Hartert, 1920: 497
) listed Meek’s specimen number 1721 as the type of
R. s. nigromentalis
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
.
Paralectotypes
are Meek specimens from Tacuta (
5
Tagula), collected in
March and April 1898
, and from Misima (
5
St. Aignan)
Island
, collected in
August and September 1897
: AMNH 651194, 651195, 651201, and 651205–651210.
Both ‘‘Tagula’’ and ‘‘Sudest’’ have been used as the name of this island; the spelling on more modern maps is Tacuta.
