COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1896a: 170)
did not designate a type, describing both male and female when he named this taxon, and noting that it was ‘‘chiefly characterized in the female’’. Later, he (
Hartert, 1922b: 374
) listed male and female ‘‘types’’, evidently meaning the
two specimens
that came to AMNH bearing Rothschild type labels, but without giving enough additional information to distinguish them from another male and
three females
collected by Everett on Tanahdjampea at the same time. According to Art. 74.1.1. of the Code (ICZN, 1999), this is not a valid designation of a
lectotype
because it applies to more than
one specimen
. Therefore all
six specimens
must be considered
syntypes
.
