Zosterops kulambangrae Rothschild and Hartert View in CoL

Zosterops kulambangrae Rothschild and Hartert, 1901b: 180 (Kulambangra) View in CoL .

Now Zosterops kulambangrae kulambangrae Rothschild and Hartert, 1901 View in CoL . See Mees, 1961a: 147– 149, and van Balen, 2008: 464.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 700752 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Kolombangara (5 Kulambangra) Island, 08.00S, 157.10E (Times Atlas), Solomon Islands, on 13 March 1901, by Albert S. Meek (no. 2875). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, but male and female were described and the type series was said to comprise four skins collected on Kolombangara in January , February, and March 1901. Hartert (1920: 436) listed Meek’s specimen no. 2875 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The three paralectotypes are: males, AMNH 700751 About AMNH (Meek no. 2881), 14 March ; AMNH 700753 About AMNH (2842), 7 March ; female, AMNH 700754 About AMNH (2795), 25 February. None was collected in January .

I have followed Mees (1961a: 147–151) and van Balen (2008: 464) in using kulamban- grae as the species name for this taxon and for tetiparius (below). For discussions of Tristram’s name rendovae , see Mees (1961a: 147– 150, 1969: 293), Mayr (1967: 312–313), and van Balen (2008: 464) and included references.
