Hawai
) Island,
Hawaii
(5
Sandwich Islands
), on
5 October 1891
, by
Henry Palmer
(no. 1380).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild described adult male, adult female, and young male but did not designate a type.
Hartert (1919a: 169)
cited Palmer’s no. 1380 for the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
of
palmeri
;
it is marked ‘‘
Type’
’ by
Rothschild. The
following
paralectotypes
, collected by
Palmer
on
Hawaii
Island
in 1891, are in
AMNH

from the Rothschild Bequest
.
Palmer’s diary (
Rothschild, 1900
: (Di)) indicated that he was on the slopes of Mauna Loa on
5 October 1891
. Munro’s journal, transcribed by Storrs Olson, indicated that the
type
of
H. palmeri
was indeed collected on 5 October (S. Olson, personal commun.).
The species is extinct.
