Dicaeum neglectum Hartert

Dicaeum neglectum Hartert, 1897d: 264 (Lombok) .

Now Dicaeum maugei neglectum Hartert, 1897 . See Salomonsen, 1961a: 5–6, White and Bruce, 1986: 409–410, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 385.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 697763 , adult male, collected on Lombok Island , 08.45S, 116.30E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 490), Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, in July 1896, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description; however, by the time he named neglectum , he had in hand specimens collected on Lombok by W. Doherty ( Hartert, 1896c: 557) and Everett ( Hartert, 1896e: 594). He did not enumerate his specimens in either case. Hartert (1920a: 429) listed as the type of neglectum the single male collected by Everett on Lombok in July 1896, thereby designating it the lectotype; it bears a Rothschild type label. Ten additional specimens, collected in June 1896 by Doherty (9) and Everett (1), came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and are paralectotypes: males, AMNH 697753–697759; females, AMNH 697760–697762.

AMNH 295151, collected on Lombok in May 1896 by Everett, was purchased by L.C. Sanford for AMNH from the dealer W.F.H. Rosenberg, and there is no evidence that it was ever in the Rothschild Collection.
