Arachnothera juliae Sharpe

Arachnothera juliae Sharpe, 1887: 451 (Kina Balu, in northern Borneo).

Now Arachnothera juliae Sharpe, 1887 . See Smythies, 2000: 592, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 320.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 685462 , adult male, collected on Mt. Kinabalu , 3000 ft, 06.03N, 116.32E (Times Atlas), Sabah, Malaysia, on 19 February 1887, by John Whitehead (no. 984). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Sharpe had only Whitehead’s 1887 collection from Kinabalu when he described this species, and Whitehead (in Sharpe, 1889: 424) only obtained one specimen on that expedition. Whitehead’s label is marked ‘‘ Type RBS[harpe].’’ The specimen bears a Rothschild type label and was listed as the type by Hartert (1920a: 428); it is illustrated in Sharpe (1887: pl. 14, opp. p. 451).
