Androphilus everetti Hartert

Androphilus everetti Hartert, 1896a: 69 (Bonthain Peak, South Celebes).

Now Bradypterus castaneus castaneus (Büttikofer, 1893) . See Watson et al., 1986a: 30, White and Bruce, 1986: 340, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 608–609.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 588294 , adult female, collected at Indrulaman , in the foothills of Gunung Lompobattang (5 peak near Bonthain ), 05.22S, 119.58E (Times Atlas), southern Sulawesi Island (5 Celebes), Indonesia, in October 1895, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description but mentioned that he had a ‘‘series of both sexes’’, nor did he subsequently ( Hartert, 1896b: 151) say how many specimens he had. Hartert (1920: 485) only later designated as lectotype a female from Indrulaman. Six specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, but only AMNH 588294 was from Indrulaman. Paralectotypes are: AMNH 588295 and 588296, adult males, AMNH 588297, 588298, and 588299, adult females, all collected on ‘‘Bonthian Peak’’ between 5500 and 7000 ft in October 1895. Everett himself collected in the area around Indrulaman, at about 2300 ft in the foothills, and J.M. Dumas with native helpers collected at the higher altitudes around Tasoso and above ( Hartert, 1896b: 149). Indrulaman is shown on the map in Stresemann (1940) as location 70, at ca. 05.30S, 120.05E.
