LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 657374
, adult male, collected on
Sumba Island
,
10.00S
,
120.00E
(
White and Bruce, 1986: 491
),
Lesser Sunda Islands
,
Indonesia
, in
February 1896
, by William Doherty. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, but described both male and female. In his later account of the entire Doherty collection from Sumba,
Hartert (1896d: 583–584)
said only that he had a ‘‘good series.’’
Hartert (1920a: 449)
listed the type as a male in the Rothschild Collection collected by Doherty in
February 1896
; however, there are
five males
from the Rothschild Collection with those data. AMNH 657374 bears the Rothschild type label and Doherty’s label, marked ‘‘Type.’’ In order to remove any ambiguity and confirm Hartert’s chosen specimen as the type, I hereby designate AMNH 657374 the
lectotype
of
Pachycephala fulviventris
Hartert.
The
paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 657375–657384
,
four males
and
six females
collected by Doherty on Sumba in
February 1896
. One additional specimen of Hartert’s original series is in RMNH (
Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 7
). Two AMNH specimens collected by Everett on Sumba in
September 1896
were collected after
P. fulviventris
was published in June.
Information on Doherty’s collecting localities is found in
Hartert (1896d: 579)
, and
Doherty (1891)
published an article on his earlier butterfly collecting on Sumba, with much information on the island.
