Myzomela chloroptera charlottae Stresemann View in CoL

Myzomela chloroptera charlottae Stresemann, 1932a: 45 View in CoL (Latimodjong-Gebirge 2200m.).

Now Myzomela boiei chloroptera Walden, 1872 View in CoL . See White and Bruce, 1986: 402, Coates et al., 1997: 479–480, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 333– 334, Dickinson, 2003: 442, and Higgins et al., 2008: 641–642.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 300043 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Latimojong (5 Latimodjong) Mountains, 2200 m, 03.30S, 120.05E ( USBGN, 1982a), Sulawesi Island , Indonesia, on 18 June 1930, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 454). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Stresemann gave Heinrich’s field number of the holotype in the original description and included in the range of charlottae three male specimens from the Matinan Mountains as well as those from the Latimojong Mountains . Stresemann (1940: 45) listed his material as nine males and one female from the Latimojong Mountains and two males from Tanke Salokko. Paratypes in AMNH are: Latimojong Mountains, males, AMNH 300044–300048 About AMNH ; Tanke Salokko , males, AMNH 300051 About AMNH , 300052 About AMNH . Collecting by Heinrich was jointly supported by L.C. Sanford for AMNH and ZMB and the collection was divided between the two institutions, with types coming to AMNH and a subset sent to MZB. The remaining paratypes are probably in ZMB or MZB .

See Schodde and Mason (1999: 334) for a discussion of the various treatments of the Wallacean forms often considered subspecies of the species M. sanguinolenta . Higgins et al. (2008: 641) considered M. chloroptera a separate species and charlottae a synonym of nominate chloroptera .
