Dicaeum misoriense Salvadori

Dicaeum misoriense Salvadori, 1876: 945 (Misori) .

Now Dicaeum geelvinkianum misoriense Salvadori, 1876 . See Hartert, 1920a: 429, Salomonsen, 1960c: 26, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 383– 384.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 698077 , adult male, 20 May 1875 (Salvadori specimen ‘‘e’’) ; AMNH 698078 , adult male, 21 May 1875 (Salvadori specimen ‘‘g’’) ; AMNH 698079 , adult male, 19 May 1875 (Salvadori specimen ‘‘d’’) ; all collected at Korido, 00.46S, 135.34E ( Times Atlas ), Biak Island (5 Misori ), Teluk Cenderawasih (5 Geelvink Bay ), Papua Province, Indonesia, by Odoardo Beccari. From the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: In the original description, Salvadori noted that Beccari collected 10 specimens, nine males and one female; but no type was designated. Salvadori (1881: 275) listed male specimens from ‘‘a’’ to ‘‘i’’ and female specimen ‘‘j.’’ Rothschild and Hartert (1903b: 214) noted that the above three syntypes were marked ‘‘Typus’’ by Salvadori; Hartert (1920a: 429) listed specimen ‘‘e’’ as a ‘‘Cotype’’ (5 syntype) of misoriense but failed to list the other two. Salvadori (1881: 275) considered all of these specimens types (5 syntypes) of misoriense , and Hartert’s citation of a co-type does not designate a lectotype. There are two additional syntypes in Genova ( Arbocco et al., 1979 (1978): 233). The original spelling of this name was misoriense and the date of publication was 1876, contra Hartert (1920a: 429).
