Nectarinia sperata thereseae Gilliard

Nectarinia sperata thereseae Gilliard, 1950: 500 (Lamao, Bataan).

Now Leptocoma sperata sperata X L. s. henkei. See Dickinson et al., 1991: 379–380, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 267–268.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 348777 , adult male, collected at Lamao , 14.31N, 120.36E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 420), Bataan Province, Luzon Island, Philippines, on 30 November 1947, by Manuel Celestino.

COMMENTS: Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that he collected an additional male, one immature male, and two adult females. The collection was divided between AMNH and PNM ( Gilliard, 1950: 463) before the AMNH portion was cataloged. The paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 459631, adult male, and AMNH 459632, adult female, both collected at Lamao. The other adult female and the immature male, presumably in PNM, are also paratypes.
