Cinnyris solaris degener Hartert

Cinnyris solaris degener Hartert, 1904a: 214 (Endeh, S. Flores).

Now Cinnyris solaris solaris (Temminck, 1825) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 406, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 298.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 687593 , adult male, collected at Ende (5 Endeh), 08.51S, 121.40E (Times Atlas), south Flores I., Lesser Sundas , Indonesia, on 12 September 1896, by Alfred Everett (no. 6039). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Everett’s number, ‘‘6039,’’ of the holotype was given in the original description, and the range of degener was listed as Flores, Lomblen, and Alor islands. The following are paratypes: south Flores I., AMNH 687594 , 687595 , males, October 1896 ; AMNH 687596 , male, AMNH 687597 , female, November , 1896 ; Lomblen I., AMNH 687598 , 687599 , males, May , 1897 ; Alor I., AMNH 687600 , male, April 1897, AMNH 687601 , female, March 1897 .

Because Everett usually did not provide field numbers for his specimens and because the number ‘‘6039’’ is in a different ink and

hand from his on the label, I think that Hartert added this number to Everett’s label to distinguish the type specimen.
