Zosterops intermedia periplecta Hartert

Zosterops intermedia periplecta Hartert, 1920: 434 (Lombok, 1500 feet).

Now Zosterops chloris maxi Finsch, 1907 . See Mees, 1961a: 43–48, White and Bruce, 1986: 414, and van Balen, 2008: 453–454.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 700349 , adult male, collected on Lombok Island , 1500 ft, 08.45S, 116.30E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 490), Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, in May 1896, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert (1920: 434) described this subspecies within his list of types in the Rothschild Collection. The Rothschild type label is tied on the above specimen, and it is without doubt the intended type; however, there are two specimens bearing the same data. By listing AMNH 700349 as the type, Mees (1961a: 46) designated it the lectotype. Hartert (1920: 434) said that he had three specimens of periplecta collected by Everett and five by Doherty, all from Lombok. The seven paralectotypes are: AMNH 700350, male, May 1896, Everett; AMNH 700351, AMNH 700352, males, AMNH 700353– 700355, females, June 1896, Doherty; AMNH 700356, female, June 1896, native collectors for Everett. AMNH 295136 is also a male collected on Lombok in May 1896 by Everett, but this specimen has no type standing; it was purchased from W.F.H. Rosenberg, a dealer, by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH and was not part of Hartert’s type series.
