Zosterops luteirostris Hartert View in CoL

Zosterops luteirostris Hartert, 1904b: 61 View in CoL (Insula Salomonis Gizo dicta).

Now Zosterops luteirostris Hartert, 1904 View in CoL . See Mees, 1961a: 145–146, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396–397, Dickinson, 2003: 628, and van Balen, 2008: 463–464.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700727 View Materials , adult male, collected on Gizo Island , 08.04S, 156.45E (Times Atlas), Solomon Islands, on 2 November 1903, by Albert S. Meek (no. A724). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Meek’s unique field number of the holotype but no indication of how many specimens he examined. Rothschild and Hartert (1905: 266) reported that Meek had collected five males and five females, giving Meek’s field numbers for them. Eight of the nine paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection ; they were all collected by Meek on Gizo in 1903 (not 1902, as in Hartert, 1904b: 61): females, AMNH 700723 View Materials (Meek no. A606), 23 October ; AMNH 700- 724 View Materials (A761), 5 November ; AMNH 700725 View Materials (A748), 4 November ; AMNH 700726 View Materials (A633), 26 October ; males, AMNH 700728 View Materials (A795), 8 November ; AMNH 700729 View Materials (A855) 14 November ; AMNH 700730 View Materials (A803), 9 November ; AMNH 700731 View Materials (A840), 13 November. The ninth paratype should have Meek’s no. A631 .

Various authors have considered this population and the next either as separate species ( Mees, 1961a: 145–147; van Balen, 2008: 463), as species in the superspecies luteirostris ( Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396– 397) , or as subspecies in Z. luteirostris ( Mayr, 1967: 312; Dickinson, 2003: 628).
