Aethopyga siparaja niasensis Hartert

Aethopyga siparaja niasensis Hartert, 1898e: 92 ( Insel Nias).

Now Aethopyga siparaja siparaja (Raffles, 1822) . See Rand, 1967: 280, Dickinson, 2003: 713, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 313–314.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 686535 , adult male, collected on Mt. Sitolie , Nias Island, 01.05N, 97.35E (BirdLife International, 2001: 2607), Indonesia, in July 1897, by Hugo Raap (no. 266) for Hermann Rolle. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description but noted that he had specimens from Nias collected by Raap and from Si Oban collected by E. Modigliani. Later, Hartert (1920a: 425) listed the Nias specimen from Sitolie as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. Paralectotypes in AMNH, all males, are: AMNH 686531 and 686532, Lagoendi , December 1897 ; AMNH 686533 , Mt. Limboe , October

1897; AMNH 686534 , Madgajan, August 1897, all from Nias Island ; AMNH 686536 , Si Oban, 30 April 1894 .
