1961a: 91, and van Balen, 2008: 457.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 700582 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Tacuta (5 Sudest or Tagula)

Island, 11.20S, 153.10E ( PNG, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 18 April 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1753). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, saying only that he had a male and a female specimen. Later, Rothschild and Hartert (1903c: 452) listed the type as the male with Meek’s field number ‘‘1753,’’ thereby designating the above specimen the lectotype. The paralectotype is AMNH 700586 (Meek no. 1754) collected on the same day.
