Oreosterops pinaiae Stresemann

Oreosterops pinaiae Stresemann, 1912c: 5 (Gŭnŭng Pinaia, 7500 feet).

Now Lophozosterops pinaiae (Stresemann, 1912) . See Mees, 1969: 199–200, White and Bruce, 1986: 417–418, and van Balen, 2008: 481.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 701424 , adult male, collected on Mount Binaiya (5 Gunung Pinaia), 7500 ft, 03.11S, 129.26E ( USBGN, 1982a), Seram (5 Ceram) Island, Moluccas, Indonesia, on 17 August 1911, by Erwin Stresemann (no. 877), on the II. Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann cited his unique field number of the holotype but gave no information about how many specimens he collected. Later, he ( Stresemann, 1914a: 138) listed seven specimens in his type series, five of which came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The four paratypes in AMNH are: Mount Binaiya, 7000 ft, AMNH 701423 (Stresemann no. 874), male; AMNH 701425 (873), female, both collected on 15 August 1911; Mount Sofia, 4000 ft, AMNH 701426 (682), male, 25 June 1911; AMNH 701427 (640), female, 13 June 1911. The two paratypes that did not come to AMNH are both from Mount Sofia, a male collected on 13 June, now in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 21), and a female collected on 25 June 1911, now in ZMA ( Roselaar and Prins, 2000: 115).
