Zosterops crassirostris Hartert, 1897b: 172 (South Flores).

Now Heleia crassirostris (Hartert, 1897) View in CoL . See Mees, 1969: 209–211, White and Bruce, 1986: 419, and van Balen, 2008: 483.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 701445 About AMNH , adult male, collected in southern Flores, 3500 ft, on 28 October 1896, by collectors for Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description or say how many specimens he examined; nor did he ( Hartert, 1897d: 519–520) later add information, except to say that Everett sent a ‘‘fine series.’’ Seven specimens came to AMNH; Hartert (1920: 437) designated as lectotype the single specimen with the date 28 October and altitude 3500 feet. The paralectotypes in AMNH, all collected in southern Flores in October 1896 (with no day or altitude given), are: males, AMNH 701441–701444 About AMNH ; females, AMNH 701446 About AMNH , 701447 About AMNH . The species is illustrated in Hartert (1897d: pl. III, fig. 2) .
