Phyllergates everetti Hartert

Phyllergates everetti Hartert, 1897d: 517 (3000 and 4000 feet in S. Flores).

Now Orthotomus cucullatus everetti (Hartert, 1897) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 350–351, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 423.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 592483 , adult male, collected above 3500 ft, south Flores Island, Indonesia, in November 1896, by collectors for Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert noted in the original description that he had two specimens, a male and a female, but did not designate a type. Later, Hartert (1920: 468) listed the male as the type, thus designating it the lectotype. The female, AMNH 592483, becomes the paralectotype.

Hartert (1897d: 513) wrote that Everett made Nanga Ramu (5 Nanga Roma) his headquarters, and Everett noted that this part of the country was better known as Mangarai. Also see Mees (2006: 12) regarding this locality.
