, adult male, collected on
Fergusson Island
,
D’Entrecasteaux Islands
,
Milne Bay Province
,
Papua New Guinea
, on
9 October 1894
, by
Albert S. Meek. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, Hartert only saying that he had
four adult
specimens of both sexes.
Rothschild and Hartert (1903b: 450)
again did not mention a type, but later,
Hartert (1919a: 177)
listed the single male collected on
9 October 1894
as the type of
subtuberosus
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. There are
three paralectotypes
, all collected on Fergusson Island in 1894:
AMNH 697145
, male, 2 October;
AMNH 697148
, female, 18 October;
AMNH 697149
, female, 18 October. Other specimens in AMNH were collected after the publication of the name.
Meek (1913: 45
, 58) had his base camp at Nade (
5
Nadi), ca.
09.40S
,
150.42E
, and remained there for four months in 1894.
