SYNTYPE: NMS_Z 1929.186.12, adult, near Kupang Bay, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, West-Timor ( 10°11'0"S ; 123°35'0"E ), between 22 August and 13 November 1801, by Rene Mauge . The information available for the NMS bird is Dufresne Ms 1818, 20: Psittacus jonquillaceus , La. P. Jonquille, une belle variete , Nlle Hollande . Comments. Vieillot referred neither to the number of available specimens nor to the collection where he examined the species. Both MNHN birds were the only two specimens (MNHN Laboratory, ZMO-GalOis 1) until Temminck provided a male from Timor in 1844. The specimen now in NMS left the MNHN at an unknown date, but probably not before 1818, and should have been examined by Vieillot. It has therefore been considered part of the type-series. For this reason, it is assumed that the NMS syntype does not double as syntype for Platycercus vulneratus Wagler 1832, in contrast to the MNHN syntypes. The type locality is erroneous (Nouvelle-Hollande), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Vieillot named this species Platycercus jonquillaceus or 'narcissus' ( Jobling 2017 ).
