Now Philemon inornatus (G.R. Gray, 1846) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 406, White and Bruce, 1986: 397, and Higgins et al., 2008: 684.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 308000 , adult female, collected on Mount Ramelau (5 Ramelan), 2400 m, 08.55S, 125.25E ( USBGN, 1982a), eastern Timor, on 2 May 1932, by Georg Stein (no. 4203). From the Expedition G. Stein.

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and said that Stein had collected 42 specimens of P. inornatus in both western and eastern Timor. His type series from eastern Timor comprised 23 specimens from Dili (5 Dilly, as on label), 16–30 April 1932, and Mount Ramelau, 3–6 May 1932 ; the 22 paratypes of robustus are: AMNH 346262– 346283 , 14 males, seven females, one sex?. Stein’s collection was made under the auspices of ZMB, Rothschild, and Sterling Rockefeller for AMNH. The entire collection came to AMNH for study by Mayr and was cataloged at AMNH. In January 1956, the following paratypes were sent to ZMB as Berlin’s share of this collection: AMNH 346268 , 346269 , 346273 , 346274 , 346278 , 346281 , and 346282 .
