Now Rhipidura dryas sumbensis Hartert, 1896 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 372 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 476–478 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 650697 , adult male, collected on Sumba Island , 10.00S , 120.00E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491 ), Lesser Sunda Islands , Indonesia , in February 1896 , by William Doherty (no. 73). From the Rothschild Collection. 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 .
