08.20S

COMMENTS
: Stresemann, in the original description, designated as type a male in the Rothschild Collection, collected by Doherty on
Bali
in
March 1896
. There were two such specimens in his type series, and
Hartert’s (1920: 463)
listing did not distinguish between them. AMNH 449932 bears the Rothschild type label, has been included in the type collection at AMNH, and has been considered Stresemann’s type. In order to avoid confusion when interpreting the older literature, I hereby designate AMNH 449932 the
lectotype
of
Phylloscopus borealis examinandus
.
Stresemann (1913b: 353)
listed a type series of
13 specimens
, including the type. Although his specimens from the II Freiburger Molukken-Expedition went to the Rothschild Collection (
Stresemann, 1913b: 325
), I did not find the molting specimen he mentioned (
Stresemann, 1913b: 354
) and perhaps it was not retained. There is, however, a male specimen from Sumba that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and would have been available to Stresemann even though it is not listed by him. I consider it a
paralectotype
. The
12 paralectotypes
are: AMNH 449854–449857,
two males
and two sex? from southern
Flores
; AMNH 449858 and 449859, a male and a female from Sumbawa; AMNH 449865 and 449866, a male and a sex? from
Bali
; AMNH 449867 and 449868, a male and a sex? from Alor; and AMNH 449875 and 449876, a male and a female from Sumba.
