Djampea) Island,

Lesser Sunda Islands

COMMENTS
: In the original description, Hartert did not designate a type, saying only that he had a ‘‘good series’’.
Hartert (1920: 491)
listed as
lectotype
a male collected on Djampea by Everett in
December 1895
. There are six such specimens that came to
AMNH
with the Rothschild collection
;
however,
AMNH 605400
is the specimen bearing the Rothschild type label, written by Hartert, and Everett’s label is also marked ‘‘Type’’. Because it was Hartert’s intent that this specimen be the type, I hereby designate
AMNH 605400
the
lectotype
of
Siphia djampeana
to avoid confusion in interpreting the older literature and to remove any ambiguity surrounding the type. The
eight paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 605401–605404
, adult males,
AMNH 605405
, immature male,
AMNH 605406–605408
, females, all collected on Tanahjampea by Everett in
December 1895
.
Watson et al. (1986b: 372)
included the species
rufigastra
in
Niltava
.
