COMMENTS
: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, noting only that Everett had collected a male and a female.
Hartert (1897a: 158)
mentioned that a single specimen collected later by Doherty agreed with the type of
bonthaina
, but he did not further distinguish it. By listing the male as the type,
Hartert (1920: 492)
designated it the
lectotype
. It bears Everett’s original label, marked ‘‘Type’’, and a Rothschild type label. On the face of Everett’s label the altitude was originally marked ‘‘
4,000 ft.
’’ and then overwritten as ‘‘
6,000 ft.
’’; on the reverse is ‘‘Tasoso 4000’’.
Hartert (1896b: 149–150)
quoted Everett concerning collecting localities: ‘‘My men worked altogether for twentythree days on the Peak, collecting for the most part between 6000 and
7000 feet
, and not at all below 5600 feet’’. Tasoso, the highest village in the district, was the base camp of J.M. Dumas, Everett’s assistant. The
paralectotype
is AMNH 605529, female (marked ‘‘Type of female’’), Bonthain Peak,
6000 ft
,
October 1895
.
