Now Lonchura punctulata sumbae Mayr, 1944 . See Mayr et al., 1968: 376 ; White and Bruce, 1986: 422– 423 ; Dickinson, 2003: 735 ; and Payne, 2010: 366 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 720819 , 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. COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and the range as Sumba Island . The following Sumba specimens are paratypes : Mao Marru , AMNH 347081 , male, AMNH 347083 , female ; Melolo , AMNH 347082 , male, AMNH 347084 , sex?, all collected by Georg and Clara Stein in June 1932 ; Sumba , AMNH 720816–720818 , male, two females, collected by William Doherty in February 1896 ; Waingapo , AMNH 720820 , male, AMNH 720821 , female, collected by Alfred Everett in September 1896 . The specimens collected by Doherty and Everett in Sumba are also paratypes of blasii (see below). The Stein Collection was jointly sponsored by AMNH and ZMB , and AMNH 347082 was sent to ZMB in 1956, the collection having not been divided until after WWII . Hartert (1896b: 576–590) reported on Doherty’s collection from Sumba, and ( Hartert, 1898b: 466–476 ) on Everett’s collection from Sumba. Mayr’s (1944) publication dealt with the specimens collected by the Steins, but he did not have Stein’s field notes. Unfortunately these were destroyed along with his home in WWII ( Stresemann, 1967: 186–187 ).
