Himatione newtoni
Rothschild, 1893c
: xlii (Island of Mauai).
Now
Paroreomyza montana newtoni
(Rothschild, 1893)
. See

LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 453344
, male, collected on
Maui
(5 Mauai) Island,
Hawaii
, on
9 August 1892
, by
Henry Palmer
(no. 1699).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description but gave measurements for more than one specimen.
Hartert (1919a: 171)
listed the type as Palmer’s no. 1699, thereby designating it the
lectotype
of
newtoni
. It is marked ‘‘Type,’’ ‘‘pl. 17’’ (of unknown significance) by Rothschild.
Rothschild (
1893g
: 115)
described adult male and female and young birds and noted that it ‘‘was discovered by Palmer on the 16th of July, 1892, in the thick forest on the slopes of Mount Haleakala, in the district of Makawao.’’ The following
paralectotypes
, collected by Palmer on Maui in 1892, are in AMNH: males,
AMNH 453345
(Palmer
no. 1700), 3 August,
AMNH 453346
(1693), 5 August,
AMNH 453347
(1675), immature, 3 August,
AMNH 453348
(1658), 18 July,
AMNH 453349
(1648), immature, 16 July; females,
AMNH 453350
(1656), immature, 18 July,
AMNH 453351
(1657), 18 July,
AMNH 453352
(1647), 17 July,
AMNH 354353
(1655), young, 18 June,
AMNH 453354
(1713), 10 August; unsexed,
AMNH 453355
(1733), 13 August,
AMNH 453356
(1677), 3 August,
AMNH 453357
(1754), 17 August,
AMNH 453358
(1775), 26 September; probable Palmer specimen without data,
AMNH 453359
. AMNH 453350 is also marked ‘‘pl. 17’’ of unknown significance. AMNH 453357 was originally identified as
newtoni
by Rothschild and would have been part of his
type
series for the species. It was later reidentified as
Loxops virens wilsoni
and is included with that form in the AMNH collection. There may be other specimens in BMNH from the Rothschild Bequest.
Henry Palmer’s diary (
Rothschild, 1900
: (Di)) noted that on
8 July 1892
he was camped north of Olinda (
20.48N
,
156.16W
, Times atlas) and by 1 August, he was camped at
5000 ft
on his way up Mount Haleakala.
