Stresemann
Pseudozosterops squamiceps stachyrina
Stresemann, 1932b: 107
(Latimodjong-Gebirge
2200 m
).
Now
Lophozosterops squamiceps stachyrinus
(Stresemann, 1932)
. See
Mees 1969: 186–187
,
White and Bruce, 1986: 418
, and
van Balen, 2008: 481– 482
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 461240
, adult male, collected in the Latimojong (
5
Latimodjong) Mountains,
2200 ft
,
03.30S
,
120.05E
(
USBGN
, 1982a), south
central Sulawesi
, on
24 June 1930
, by
Gerd Heinrich
(no. 583).
COMMENTS: Stresemann cited Heinrich’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description but did not indicate the size of his type series.
Later
, he (
Stresemann, 1940: 67
) noted that he had
five male
,
three female
, and
one juvenile
specimens from
Latimojong. Support
for
Heinrich’s
expedition came from
L.C. Sanford
for
AMNH
and from
ZMB
;
primary types came to
AMNH
and the remainder of the collection was divided between the two institutions (
Stresemann, 1931b: 7–9
). Five
paratypes
are in
AMNH
: males,
AMNH 293127
,
293128
;
females,
AMNH 293129–293131
. The remaining
paratypes
are probably in
ZMB
.
