Myzomela batjanensis Hartert, 1903b: 56 View in CoL (In montibus insulae Batjan).

Now Myzomela boiei batjanensis Hartert, 1903 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 692726 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Bacan (5 Batjan) Island, 5000– 7000 ft, 00.35S, 127.30E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 490), Moluccas, Indonesia, in June 1902, by Johannes Waterstradt (no. B.579). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert listed Waterstradt’s field number of the holotype in the original description, but did not say how many specimens he collected. Later, Rothschild and Hartert (1903a: 218) listed six males and one female in addition to the holotype. The paratypes, all collected by Waterstradt on Bacan in June and July 1902, are: males, AMNH 692722–692725 About AMNH , 692727 About AMNH , 692728 About AMNH ; female, AMNH 692729 About AMNH .

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 batjanensis a subspecies of M. chloroptera .
