Hartert
Culicicapa ceylonensis sejuncta
Hartert, 1897d: 526
(South
Flores
).
Now
Culicicapa ceylonensis sejuncta
Hartert, 1897
. See
White and Bruce, 1986: 369
, and
Mees, 2006: 164
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 652881
, adult male, collected on south
Flores
, in
October 1896
, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Hartert
did not designate a type in the original description, but included specimens collected by
Everett
and
Doherty
from south
Flores
and
Sumba
in his new subspecies.
Later
,
Hartert 1920: 500
) designated as
lectotype
a male collected by
Everett
on south
Flores
in
October 1896
.
There
are two such specimens
;
however,
AMNH 652881
bears a
Rothschild
type label and
Everett’s
label is marked ‘‘
Type’
’ in
Hartert’s
hand, showing
Hartert’s
intent that this specimen should be the
lectotype
. In order to remove any ambiguity and ensure that the older literature is correctly interpreted, I hereby designate
AMNH 652881
the
lectotype
of
C. ceylonensis sejuncta
.
Paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 652882–652884
,
two males
and
one female
collected on south
Flores
by
Everett
;
AMNH 652885
and 652886, males collected on
Sumba
by
Everett
;
and
AMNH 652887–652891
,
three males
and
two females
collected on
Sumba
by
Doherty
.
According to
Hartert (1897d: 513)
, Everett made his headquarters on
Flores
at Nanga Ramau (or Nanga Roma) with his collectors going inland from there to a height of
5000 ft.
Mees (2006: 12)
gave other spellings for this locality.
