Treatment

Zosterops lutea hecla Mathews, 1912b: 48 (Hecla Island, Parry Harbour).

Now Zosterops luteus luteus Gould, 1843 View in CoL . See Mees, 1961a: 124–125, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 685–686, and van Balen, 2008: 462.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700495 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Hecla Island , 13.58S, 126.00E ( USBGN, 1957), Parry Harbour, Northern Territory, Australia, on 14 November 1909, by G.F. Hill. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5658) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Hill’s original label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was illustrated in Mathews (1923a: pl. 506, lower left fig., opp. p. 156, text p. 165), where it was confirmed as the type of hecla. Mathews cataloged the single specimen.
