Rhodacanthis palmeri Rothschild, 1892 View in CoL . See Rothschild, 1900: 203–204, pl. 68; Amadon, 1950: 172; Greenway, 1968: 102; Olson, 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 758; Pratt, 2005: 207–209; and Pratt, 2010: 647.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 453628 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Kona District , Hawaii (5 Hawai ) Island, Hawaii (5 Sandwich Islands ), on 5 October 1891, by Henry Palmer (no. 1380). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild described adult male, adult female, and young male but did not designate a type. Hartert (1919a: 169) cited Palmer’s no. 1380 for the type, thereby designating it the lectotype of palmeri ; it is marked ‘‘ Type’ ’ by Rothschild. The following paralectotypes, collected by Palmer on Hawaii Island in 1891, are in AMNH: males, AMNH 453623 About AMNH (Palmer no. 1624), 26 June, AMNH 453624 About AMNH (1582), 19 March , AMNH 453625 About AMNH (1587), 21 March , AMNH 453626 About AMNH (1586), 21 March , AMNH 453627 About AMNH (1579) ; immature [adult female?], 21 November , AMNH 453629 About AMNH (1371) ; juvenile, 3 October , AMNH 453630 About AMNH (1381) ; immature, 6 October , AMNH 453631 About AMNH (1370), 3 October, AMNH 453632 About AMNH (1402), 10 October, AMNH 453633 About AMNH (1412), 11 October, AMNH 453634 About AMNH (1442), 16 October, AMNH 453635 About AMNH (1448), 20 October ; females, AMNH 453636 About AMNH (1361), 1 October, AMNH 453637 About AMNH (1346), 29 September, AMNH 453638 About AMNH (1404), 11 October. AMNH 453631 About AMNH is marked ‘‘ Cotype’ ’ by Rothschld. AMNH 453623 About AMNH bears a separate label reading: ‘‘skull, humeri, and one tarsus removed and specimen remade by J.P. Angle, USNM. Skull replaced by cast’’ (see Olson et al., 1987). Other specimens may be in BMNH from the Rothschild Bequest .

Palmer’s diary ( Rothschild, 1900: (Di)) indicated that he was on the slopes of Mauna Loa on 5 October 1891. Munro’s journal, transcribed by Storrs Olson, indicated that the type of H. palmeri was indeed collected on 5 October (S. Olson, personal commun.).

The species is extinct.
