Now Telespiza cantans S.B. Wilson, 1890 . See Rothschild, 1893g : 5–7 , pls. 10, 11; Rothschild, 1900: 305 ; Amadon, 1950: 172 ; Greenway, 1968: 102 ; Olson and James, 1986: 84–86 ; Dickinson, 2003: 758 ; Pratt, 2005: 198–200 ; and Pratt, 2010: 650 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 453646 , adult male, collected on Laysan Island , 25.46N , 171.44W (Times atlas), Hawaii , on 18 June 1891 , by Henry Palmer (no. 1095). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description, describing male and female without listing his specimens. Hartert (1919a: 169) gave Palmer’s no. 1095 for the type of flavissima , thereby designating it the lectotype ; it had been marked ‘‘Type’’ by Rothschild. The following paralectotypes , collected by Palmer on Laysan, are in AMNH : AMNH 453647 (Palmer no. 1096), male, undated ; AMNH 453648 (1094), unsexed, undated ; AMNH 453668 (1156), female [male], undated ; AMNH 453669 (1095), female, undated ; AMNH 453670 (1097), female, 18 June 1891 ; AMNH 453671 (1144), female, 19 June 1891 . Other paralectotypes may be in BMNH as part of the Rothschild Bequest . See Olson and James (1986: 85) and David et al. (2009: 5) for the correct spelling of Telespiza .
