Arachnothera longirostra rothschildi van Oort

Arachnothera longirostra rothschildi van Oort, 1910a: 195 (Natoena Islands (Boengoeran)).

Now Arachnothera longirostra rothschildi van Oort, 1910 . See Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 317.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 685347 , adult female, collected on Natuna Besar or Bunguran (5 Boengoeran) Island, 04.00N, 108.15E ( USBGN, 1982), Natuna (5 Natoena) Islands, Indonesia, in September 1893, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: van Oort did not designate a type in the original description but said that he examined the 10 specimens collected on Bunguran Island and loaned to him by Hartert. Hartert (1920a: 428) listed as type the female specimen marked by van Oort with his new name, thereby designating it the lectotype. AMNH 685347 is the only female specimen so marked and it bears a Rothschild type label. The nine paralectotypes are: collected by Charles Hose in July 1894, AMNH 685338 , male, Sibintane, Natuna Besar (5 Great Natuna, as on label) ; collected by Everett on Bunguran Island in September and October 1893, AMNH 685339–685346 , four males and four females .
