LECTOTYPE: AMNH 701428 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Mount Tambora , 1000 ft,

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description or say how many specimens he examined. Eight specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection ; Hartert (1920: 438) designated as lectotype the only specimen that was collected at 1000 ft. The paralectotypes at AMNH, all collected on Mount Tambora in April–May 1896, are: AMNH 701429– 701435 About AMNH , four males, two females, one female?, all collected at 3000 ft except for two for which no altitude was given. Of these, AMNH 701435 About AMNH was exchanged to ANSP in June 1944 .

The genus Lophozosterops was described at the same time, with L. dohertyi the type species. The species is figured in Rothschild (1897: 169, pl. 2, fig. 1).
