LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 573935
, adult female, collected on
Mount Ali
(or
Ari
, also called
Mount Tuikao
),
21 mi
E of Kiayi
(
Seltzer, 1962: 45
),
Taiwan
, Republic of China, on
13 December 1906
, by
Alan Owston’s Japanese
collectors.
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description,
Hartert (1910a: 776)
stated that he had
three female
specimens, all from Mt. Ali.
Hartert (1920: 504)
designated as
lectotype
a ‘‘male’’ collected on Mt. Ali on
13 December 1906
. Only the
three female
specimens originally listed came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and AMNH 573935 is the only one collected on
13 December 1906
; it seems that reference to it as a ‘‘male’’ was a misprint. It bears the Rothschild type label, and I consider it the
lectotype
. The
paralectotypes
are AMNH 573936, female, collected
16 December 1906
, and AMNH 573937, female, collected
5 December 1906
.
