Lonchura punctulata sumbae Mayr View in CoL

Lonchura punctulata sumbae Mayr, 1944: 169 (Sumba) View in CoL .

Now Lonchura punctulata sumbae Mayr, 1944 View in CoL . See Mayr et al., 1968: 376; White and Bruce, 1986: 422– 423; Dickinson, 2003: 735; and Payne, 2010: 366.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 720819 View Materials , adult [male], collected on Sumba Island , 10.00S, 120.00E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491), Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, in February 1896, by William Doherty. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and the range as Sumba Island. The following Sumba specimens are paratypes: Mao Marru , AMNH 347081 View Materials , male, AMNH 347083 View Materials , female ; Melolo, AMNH 347082 View Materials , male, AMNH 347084 View Materials , sex?, all collected by Georg and Clara Stein in June 1932 ; Sumba, AMNH 720816–720818 View Materials , male, two females, collected by William Doherty in February 1896 ; Waingapo, AMNH 720820 View Materials , male, AMNH 720821 View Materials , female, collected by Alfred Everett in September 1896. The specimens collected by Doherty and Everett in Sumba are also paratypes of blasii (see below). The Stein Collection was jointly sponsored by AMNH and ZMB, and AMNH 347082 View Materials was sent to ZMB in 1956, the collection having not been divided until after WWII .

Hartert (1896b: 576–590) reported on Doherty’s collection from Sumba, and ( Hartert, 1898b: 466–476) on Everett’s collection from Sumba. Mayr’s (1944) publication dealt with the specimens collected by the Steins, but he did not have Stein’s field notes. Unfortunately these were destroyed along with his home in WWII ( Stresemann, 1967: 186–187).
