Stigmatops argentauris patasiwa
Stresemann, 1912a: 345
(Lusaolate (Nordküste von Ceram)).
Now
Lichmera argentauris
(Finsch, 1870)
. See
White and Bruce, 1986: 399
, and
Higgins et al., 2008: 660
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 694334
, adult male, collected on
Lusaolate Island
, off the north coast of
Seram
(
5
Ceram),
Moluccas
,
Indonesia
, on
27 August 1911
, by
Erwin Stresemann
(no. 869) on the
II Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann gave his unique field number of the
holotype
; later, he (
Stresemann, 1914a: 141
) listed his type series of
one male
and
four females
, all collected on 27 August. The
three paratypes
in AMNH are:
AMNH 694335
(Stresemann no. 866),
AMNH 694336
(870),
AMNH 694337
(868); the fourth
paratype
is in RMNH (
Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 27
). Neither
White and Bruce (1986: 490)
nor I were able to find Lusaolate Island. However,
Stresemann (1914a: 141)
noted that Lusaolate Island was close to the north coast of Seram, east of Sawai Bay,
02.52S
,
129.12E
(USBGN, 1982a).
