LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 657414
, adult male, collected at
Wulur
,
07.09S
,
128.39E
(Times Atlas),
Damar
(
5
Dammer)
Island, Moluccas
,
Indonesia
, on
27 November 1898
, by
Heinrich Kühn
(no. 1092).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description; later he (
Hartert, 1920a: 448
) listed Kühn’s specimen number 1092 as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. It bears a Rothschild type label and Kühn’s label, marked ‘‘Type.’’ In the original description, Hartert did not say how many specimens he had, only that he had a single female;
Hartert (1906a: 299)
gave measurements for
five males
. Six specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, but four are marked as males and two as females. It is possible that Hartert considered one of the females to be an immature male, as its wing measurement,
90 mm
, falls within those he gave for males (
Hartert, 1906a: 299
). The second female is smaller and shows signs of immaturity. The
five paratypes
are:
AMNH 657415–657419
, collected on Damar by Kühn in
November and December 1898
.
