Lonchura pallidiventer
Restall, 1996: 137
(
Jakarta
, apparently from south-east
Kalimantan
,
Indonesia
).

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 831287
, unsexed, purchased in
Jakarta
,
Indonesia
(but said to be from southeast
Kalimantan
,
Indonesia
), by
R. Restall.
COMMENTS: The
AMNH
number of the
holotype
was given in the original description. The second specimen, listed as the ‘‘syntype’’ is a
paratype
,
AMNH 831288
(not 8311288)
; it is a mummy and also unsexed. Two other birds are illustrated and said to be from among five observed in a dealer’s possession. The colors in
Restall (1997: 32
, pl. 5) are quite different from the color of the two specimens.
