Cinnyris zenobia buruensis Hartert

Cinnyris zenobia buruensis Hartert, 1910b: 12 (Bara, Buru) .

Now Cinnyris jugularis buruensis Hartert, 1910 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 405–406, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 687732 , adult male, collected at Bara , 03.08S, 126.15E (Times Atlas), Buru Island, Moluccas, Indonesia, in September 1898, by J. Dumas. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert listed as the type the single specimen collected by Dumas at Bara and mentioned that he had ‘‘a dozen males’’ from Buru. In fact, there were an additional 18 specimens that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, all of which would have been in Hartert’s hand when the description was written ; I consider them all paratypes, including two additional males not included by Hartert in his ‘‘dozen males’’: Fogi, Buru I., AMNH 687718–687722 , three males, two females, collected in February 1902 by H. Kühn ; Kayeli , Buru I., AMNH 687723– 687730 , six males, two females, collected in March 1897 by W. Doherty ; AMNH 687731 , one male, collected in October 1898 by Dumas ; Buru I., AMNH 687733–687735 , three males, collected in October 1875 by collectors for A.A. Bruijn .

Hartert (1900b) had reported on the collections by Dumas and Doherty on Buru, but had only noted that this species was ‘‘frequent.’’
