Stigmatops deningeri
Stresemann, 1912c: 6
(Gŭnŭng Fogha, N.W. Buru,
4500 feet
).
Now
Lichmera deningeri
(Stresemann, 1912)
. See
White and Bruce, 1986: 400
, and
Higgins et al., 2008: 663
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 694344
, adult male, collected on
Mount Fogha
,
4500 ft
,
Buru Island
,
Moluccas
,
Indonesia
, on
25 February 1912
, by
Erwin Stresemann
(no. 1104) on the II. Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Stresemann cited his unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description without saying how many specimens he studied. In his (
Stresemann, 1914b
) account of his entire collection on Buru, he listed
two male
and
five female
specimens. There are
five paratypes
in AMNH:
AMNH 694345
, male,
AMNH 694346–694349
, fe- males, collected
26–28 February 1912
on Mount Fogha. The sixth
paratype
is in RMNH (
Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 27
).
Stresemann (1914b: 361)
equated Mount Fogha, Mount Mada, and Mount
Madang
with Kapala Mada; This is probably Kapalatmada,
03.15S
,
126.09E
(USBGN, 1982a), although
Rothschild and Hartert (1923: 118)
thought that they were the same as Mount Tomahu,
03.14S
,
126.04E
(USBGN, 1982a).
