Meek (no. 1335). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : No type was designated in the original description, Hartert saying only that he had six specimens . Hartert (1920: 496) listed as the type of R. louisiadensis the specimen bearing Meek’s number 1335, thereby designating it the lectotype . The type series apparently comprised six specimens in addition to the type; paralectotypes all collected on Yela by Meek in 1898 are: AMNH 650765–650770 . AMNH 650770 was exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s .
