LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 654917
, adult male, collected on
Tanahdjampea
(

Djampea) Island,
07.05S
,
120.42E
(
White and Bruce, 1986: 491
),
Indonesia
, in
December 1895
, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Hartert did not designate a type and said only that Everett collected a series of adult males and a female in
December 1895
.
Five males
and
one female
came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Hartert (1920: 502)
listed his type as in the Rothschild Collection but did not further distinguish it. Only the above specimen bears a Rothschild type label, and the Everett label is marked ‘‘
5
Type
.
5
’’. Because this is the specimen Hartert intended as his type, I hereby designate AMNH 654917 the
lectotype
of
Monarcha everetti
to remove any ambiguity and avoid possible confusion in interpreting the older literature.
Paralectotypes
are: AMNH 654918–654921, males, and 654922, female, all collected by Everett on Tanahdjampea in
December 1895
.
