Dicaeum van heysti Robinson and Kloss

Dicaeum van heysti Robinson and Kloss, 1918: 239 (Bras tagi).

Now Dicaeum ignipectus beccarii Robinson and Kloss, 1918 . See Hartert, 1928a: 207, Salomonsen, 1961a: 23, Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 387.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697595 , adult male, collected at Berastagi (5 Bras tagi), 03.11N, 98.31E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2600), Sumatra, Indonesia, on 19 June 1917 (not 10 June, as in original description), by A.F.C. A. van Heyst (no. 517). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Robinson and Kloss gave van Heyst’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said that they had three specimens. The two paratypes, collected at the same place on the same day, are AMNH 697596 ( van Heyst no. 516), immature male ; AMNH 697597 (512), female. The female specimen is marked on the label ‘‘Type ♀,’’ but this is incorrect, as only the male was designated as the type in the original description .
