LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 659487
, adult male, collected on south Flores, above
3000 ft
,
Lesser Sunda Islands
,
Indonesia
, in
October 1896
, by a native collector for Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, but male and female were both described.
Hartert (1897e: 522– 523
, pl. 3) repeated his initial Latin description in English and added a description of the young male, but still did not designate a type or say how many specimens he examined. Later, he (
Hartert, 1920a: 445
) listed as type the only male collected ‘‘above
3,000 feet
,
October 1896
,’’ thereby designating it the
lectotype
. See illustration on cover.
Paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 659488
, male,
3500 ft
, October;
AMNH 659489
, male, above
3500 ft
, November;
AMNH 659490
, male,
4000 ft
, October;
AMNH 659491
, immature male, above
3500 ft
, November;
AMNH 659492
, immature male, above
3500 ft
, November;
AMNH 659493
, immature male, above
3500 ft
, November;
AMNH 659494
, immature female, above
3500 ft
, November;
AMNH 659495
, female, above
3000 ft
, October; and
AMNH 659496
, female,
3500 ft
, October, all collected by Everett on south
Flores
in 1896. There is also a
paralectotype
in NNM (
Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 6
).
Hartert (1897e)
reported on Everett’s collection and (
Hartert, 1897e: 513
) gave his collecting locality as Nanga Ramau or Nanga Roma in the district called Manggarai,
08.30S
,
120.15E
(USBGN, 1982). Manggarai is not in south
Flores
; rather, it is in central western
Flores
, more like the ‘‘
Flores
meridionalis’’ given as the
type
locality by Hartert in the original description. I have not found either Nanga Ramau or Nanga Roma; however, ‘‘Nanga’’ refers to a stream. There is a stream known as Nanga Ramah at
08.20S
,
120.41E
(USBGN, 1982), which may correspond to the
type
locality.
