Cinnyris clementiae keiensis Stresemann

Cinnyris clementiae keiensis Stresemann, 1913a: 309 (Kei-Inseln) .

Now Cinnyris jugularis keiensis Stresemann, 1913 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 405–406, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 687680 , adult male, collected ‘‘ Add. N. of Great Key,’’ Kai Islands , Indonesia, on 20 July 1900, by Heinrich Kühn (no. 2792). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Stresemann gave Kühn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and wing measurements for 12 males and three females. The date of collection of the holotype was incorrectly given as 9 July, but later corrected by Hartert (1920a: 427) without comment ; no specimen was collected on 9 July. There are 11 male, one immature male, and three female paratypes: Elat , Kai Besar (5 Great Key), AMNH 687678 , male, AMNH 687679 , female ; ‘‘ Add. N. of Great Key,’’ AMNH 687681 , female ; Toeal, Kai Kecil (5 Little Key), AMNH 687682–687691 , males, AMNH 687692 , female ; Soa, Kai Kecil, AMNH 687693 , male .

Mees (1953: 28) commented on Kühn’s locality ‘‘Add. N. of Great Key,’’ usually interpreted as Add Islet, north of Great Key, and decided that it must be Ad on the northern part of Kai Besar. Like Mees, I was unable to find an Add Islet on any map and think that the type locality of keiensis must be Ad, 05.25S, 133.04E (USBGN, 1982), on Kai Besar (5 Great Key).
