Zosterops alberti Rothschild and Hartert
Zosterops alberti Rothschild and Hartert, 1908b: 364 ( San Cristobal).
Now Zosterops rendovae rendovae Tristram, 1882 View in CoL . See Mees, 1961a: 157–162, Mayr, 1967: 313, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 397, and van Balen, 2008: 464.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700667 View Materials , adult male, collected on Anuta (5 Yanuta) Island, 10.20S, 161.21E ( USBGN, 1974b), Makira (5 San Cristobal) Island, Solomon Islands, on 25 April 1908, by Albert S. Meek (no. 4078). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated as the holotype the specimen bearing Meek’s unique number 4078. Their type series comprised three males and three females from Anuta and Makira, with Meek’s numbers listed. Paratypes, all collected in 1908, are: Makira, females, AMNH 700665 View Materials (Meek no. 4124), 1 May ; AMNH 700666 View Materials (4123), 1 May ; Anuta, males, AMNH 700668 View Materials (4086), 26 April ; AMNH 700669 View Materials (4102) 27 April ; female, AMNH 700670 View Materials (4103), 27 April. The entire island of San Cristobal is today called Makira , but there is a Makira Harbor in the northwest part of the island within which is the island of Anuta. This is undoubtedly where Meek anchored his boat .
Mees (1961a: 157–162) and van Balen (2008: 464) correctly used Z. r. rendovae for the Makira subspecies as it was shown that the original description of rendovae applied to the Makira bird.
