COMMENTS
: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description but noted that he had
three male
specimens collected in
February 1896
by Doherty. He did not further differentiate among the specimens when he (
Hartert, 1920: 496
) listed Rothschild types.
AMNH 650697
bears the Rothschild type label, indicating it is the specimen Hartert intended as the type
;
accordingly, I hereby designate it the
lectotype
of
R. c. sumbensis
in order to remove any ambiguity and avoid confusion in interpreting the older literature. The
paralectotypes
are
AMNH 650698
and 650699
.
