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
).
