Cinnyris frenata saleyerensis Hartert

Cinnyris frenata saleyerensis Hartert, 1897b: 156 (Saleyer Island).

Now Cinnyris jugularis plateni (Blasius, 1885) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 405–406, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 687613 , adult male, collected on Salayar (5 Saleyer) Island, 06.05S, 120.30E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491), Indonesia, in November 1895, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said only that the type was in the Rothschild Museum. Earlier, Hartert (1896b: 167), in reporting on the Salayer collection, confirmed that he had four adult and one immature male specimens, but included them in his newly described subspecies dissentiens (see previous entry). Later, Hartert (1920a: 427) listed the type of saleyerensis as an adult male from ‘‘Saleyer’’ collected by Everett in November 1895. This does not distinguish among the three adult males that were in the Rothschild Collection. AMNH 687613 is undoubtedly the intended type, as Hartert has written ‘‘Type’’ on Everett’s label and a Rothschild type label is attached. In order to remove the ambiguity, I hereby designate AMNH 687613 the lectotype of C. frenata saleyerensis . Paralectotypes, all collected on Salayar in November 1895, are: AMNH 687612, male; AMNH 687614, male immature; AMNH 687615, male; as well as one male specimen that did not come to AMNH. All of these five Salayar specimens are paralectotypes of dissentiens as well (see previous entry).
