Thapsinillas affinis harterti
(

)
. See
Dickinson and Gregory, 2002
, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002b: 105, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 133.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 566206
, unsexed adult, collected on
Peleng Island
,
01°25′S
,
123°10′E
(
Seltzer, 1962: 1446
),
Banggai Archipelago
,
Indonesia
,
May–August 1895
, by collectors for Cursham. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Stresemann (1912: 342)
noted that the type was in the Rothschild Collection, from Peleng, and was collected by collectors for Cursham in
May–August 1895
.
Two specimens
have these data, and
Hartert’s (1922b: 368)
listing of the type did not distinguish between them, even though AMNH 566206 bears the Rothschild type label and has always been considered the type. I hereby designate AMNH 566206 the
lectotype
, to avoid any possible confusion. The
paralectotype
is AMNH 566207.

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 566251
, adult male, collected on

(

William Doherty
(no. 938).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description,
Hartert (1903b: 13)
listed the type as Doherty specimen no. 930, but later corrected it to no. 938 without comment (
Hartert, 1922b: 368
). Only one of Doherty’s specimens has a number and it is no. 938. The
nine paratypes
are AMNH 566248–566250 and 566252–566257.

as specimens of
Hemixus
(=

COMMENTS
: No type was designated in the original description, but reference is made to male(s) and female(s) collected by both Butler and Hartert on different visits.
Hartert (1922b: 368)
cited the sex and Butler’s field number, thereby designating the above specimen the
lectotype
.
Hartert (1889: 388)
noted that he had collected both sexes, but did not give numbers; his specimens are not at AMNH.
Butler (1899: 15)
indicated that he had collected
three specimens
and noted that his entire collection had gone to the Rothschild Collection (
Butler, 1899: 11
). Only a male and a female came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The female, AMNH 565733, is a
paralectotype
.
