Gerygone everetti Hartert

Gerygone everetti Hartert, 1897c: 267 (Savu) .

Now Gerygone inornata Wallace, 1864 . See Meise, 1931: 367, Mayr, 1986b: 452, and White and Bruce, 1986: 335.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 606967 , adult male, collected on Sawu (5 Savu) Island, 10.32S, 121.58E ( USBGN, 1982a), Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, in August 1896, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that he had a large series. Later, Hartert (1920: 494) listed the male collected in August 1896 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The above specimen is the only adult male collected in August, and it bears the Rothschild type label. There are 10 paralectotypes: AMNH 606972 and 606973, adult males ; AMNH 606974–606976 , adult females ; AMNH 606968–606971 , immatures ,

all collected on Sawu in August and September 1896 by Everett; and AMNH 606965, male, collected at Atapupu, Timor, in July 1897, a specimen specifically mentioned by Hartert as part of his type series. Later, Hartert (1920: 494) claimed the inclusion of Timor in the range of G. everetti to be an error and restricted the type locality to Sawu Island.
