Ramelan [sic] (2600 meters), eastern Timor). Now Zosterops montanus montanus Bonaparte, 1850 . See Mees, 1957: 191–192 , White and Bruce, 1986: 413 , and Dickinson, 2003: 626 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 308005 , adult male, collected on Mount Ramelau (not Mount Ramelan ), 2600 m , 08.55S , 125.25E (US- BGN , 1982a), eastern Timor , on 1 May 1932 , by Georg Stein (no. 4290). COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. The following specimens are paratypes : males, AMNH 346376–346384 , Mount Mutis , AMNH 346385–346390 , Mount Ramelau ; females, AMNH 346391–346397 , Mount Mutis , AMNH 346398–396403 , Mount Ramelau ; sex?, AMNH 346404–346406 , Mount Mutis , AMNH 346407 , 346408 , Mount Ramelau. Of these, AMNH 346376 , 346377 , 346389 , 346392–346394 , and 346405 were sent to ZMB in January 1956 ; I did not find AMNH 346379 in the collection. The locality is clearly written ‘‘ Mount Ramelau’ ’ on the holotype . Fieldwork on Timor by Clara and Georg Stein, from ZMB, was supported by J. Sterling Rockefeller for AMNH, and the specimens were to be divided between the two institutions. The results were published by Mayr (1944) during World War II, and no specimens were returned to ZMB until January 1956 . Stein never published fieldnotes from this expedition because his home and notebooks were destroyed during the war ( Stresemann, 1967 ).
