Myzomela nigrita louisiadensis Hartert View in CoL

Myzomela nigrita louisiadensis Hartert, 1898a: 527 View in CoL (Sudest Island).

Now Myzomela nigrita louisiadensis Hartert, 1898 View in CoL . See Coates, 1990: 243, and Higgins et al., 2008: 639.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 693193 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Tacuta (5 Tagula 5 Sudest ) Island, 11.30S, 153.30E ( PNG, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago , Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 8 April 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1690). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that Meek sent a series of specimens; later Rothschild and Hartert (1903a: 221) listed Meek’s specimen no. 1690 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. It bears Meek’s original label and a Rothschild type label. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 693192 About AMNH , 693194–693197 About AMNH , males, collected in April 1898, Meek nos. 1677, 1609, 1713, 1665, and 1664, respectively .
