Dicaeum apo Hartert

Dicaeum apo Hartert, 1904c: 79 (Mt. Apo, Mindanao) .

Now Dicaeum ignipectus apo Hartert, 1904 . See Salomonsen, 1961a: 18–20, Dickinson et al., 1991: 397, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 387.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 697926 , adult male, collected on Mt. Apo , 3000 ft, 06.59N, 125.16E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 415), Mindanao Island, Philippines, in October 1903, by Johannes Waterstradt. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated the type as a male collected at 3000 ft on Mt. Apo in October 1903; however, three such specimens were collected by Waterstradt at that time. Hartert’s (1920a: 429) listing of the type did not further distinguish among these three specimens. Dickinson et al. (1991: 397), by giving AMNH 697926 by number as the holotype, effectively designated it the lectotype (ICZN, 1999: 82, Art. 74.5). The specimen bears a Rothschild type label in addition to Waterstradt’s field label and is, indeed, the specimen Hartert intended as the type. The two paralectotypes are: AMNH 697927 and AMNH 697928, males from Mt. Apo, 3000 ft, October 1903.
