Criniger affinis harterti Stresemann

Criniger affinis harterti Stresemann, 1912: 342 (Peling) .

Now Thapsinillas affinis harterti ( Stresemann, 1912) . See Dickinson and Gregory, 2002, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002b: 105, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 133.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 566206 , unsexed adult, collected on Peleng Island , 01°25′S, 123°10′E ( Seltzer, 1962: 1446), Banggai Archipelago, Indonesia, May–August 1895, by collectors for Cursham. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Stresemann (1912: 342) noted that the type was in the Rothschild Collection, from Peleng, and was collected by collectors for Cursham in May–August 1895. Two specimens have these data, and Hartert’s (1922b: 368) listing of the type did not distinguish between them, even though AMNH 566206 bears the Rothschild type label and has always been considered the type. I hereby designate AMNH 566206 the lectotype, to avoid any possible confusion. The paralectotype is AMNH 566207.

Criniger lucasi Hartert

Criniger lucasi Hartert, 1903b: 13 (Obi) .

Now Thapsinillas affinis lucasi (Hartert, 1903) . See

Dickinson and Gregory, 2002, Dickinson and Dekker,

2002b: 105, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 133.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 566251 , adult male, collected on Obi Major , 01°30′S, 127°45′E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491), Northern Moluccas, Indonesia, in September 1897, by William Doherty (no. 938). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert (1903b: 13) listed the type as Doherty specimen no. 930, but later corrected it to no. 938 without comment ( Hartert, 1922b: 368). Only one of Doherty’s specimens has a number and it is no. 938. The nine paratypes are AMNH 566248–566250 and 566252–566257.

Iole holti [sic] binghami Hartert

Iole holti [sic] binghami Hartert, 1902c: 558 (Loi­San­Pa).

Now Ixos mcclellandii tickelli (Blyth, 1855) . See Dickinson and Gregory, 2002, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002b: 104, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 131.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 565723 , adult male, collected at Loi­San­Pa (= Taung Palaung), 5500 ft, 21°46′N, 96°55′E ( Rand and Deignan, 1960: 290), Möng Köng State , Southern Shan States, Myanmar, on 29 December 1899, by Col. Charles T. Bingham. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: For his description, Hartert (1902c: 558) had only this single specimen, one of a group of specimens that had been identified by Bingham and Thompson (1900: 111) as specimens of Hemixus (= Iole ) maclellandi [sic].

Iole tickelli peracensis Hartert and Butler

Iole tickelli peracensis Hartert and Butler, 1898: 506 (Gunong Ijau) .

Now Ixos mcclellandii peracensis ( Hartert and Butler, 1898) . See Dickinson and Gregory, 2002, Dickinson and Dekker, 2002b: 104, and Dickinson et al., 2002b: 131.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 565732 , adult male, collected on Gunung Hijau (= Green Mountain), 4500 ft, ca. 04°52′N, 100°48′E (D. Wells, personal commun.), Perak, Malaysia, in March 1898, by Arthur L. Butler (no. 30). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, but reference is made to male(s) and female(s) collected by both Butler and Hartert on different visits. Hartert (1922b: 368) cited the sex and Butler’s field number, thereby designating the above specimen the lectotype.

Hartert (1889: 388) noted that he had collected both sexes, but did not give numbers; his specimens are not at AMNH. Butler (1899: 15) indicated that he had collected three specimens and noted that his entire collection had gone to the Rothschild Collection ( Butler, 1899: 11). Only a male and a female came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The female, AMNH 565733, is a paralectotype.
