Treatment

Lonchura atricapilla selimbaue Restall, 1995: 155 (Selimbau, Kalimantan Barut, 0 ° 379N, 112 ° 089E).

Now Lonchura atricapilla jagori (Martens, 1866) View in CoL . See Snow, 1997: 4; Restall, 1997: 129; LeCroy, 1999: 219; Smythies, 2000: 614–616; Dickinson, 2003: 735; and Payne, 2010: 369–370.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 831285 About AMNH , unsexed, said to be from Selimbau, 00.37N, 112.08E, Kalimantan Barat (not Barut), Borneo, Indonesia, no date of collection given, collected by C. Choa. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. A second specimen from the same locality (also unsexed) was given to AMNH at the same time and is presumably a paratype: AMNH 831284. The number of specimens seen by Restall is not given, nor are we told how they were sexed, but inclusive measurements were given for males and females ( LeCroy, 1999: 219), although Restall’s method of taking measurements does not allow them to be compared to standard avian measurements.

Dickinson (2003: 735) included atricapilla in the broad species L. malacca ; Payne (2010: 369–370) considered atricapilla a separate species based on recent mitochondrial DNA studies.

Snow (1997: 4) suggested that the spelling of selimbaue should be amended to selimbauensis, and this was followed by Restall (1997: 129), Smythies (2000: 615, under L. malacca ), and Payne (2010: 369), but it is my understanding now that selimbaue is not necessarily an incorrect original spelling, rather that the original spelling, selimbaue, is a non-Latin or -latinized word and that it should be treated as indeclinable. In such a case the original spelling is to be retained with the termination unchanged (ICZN, 1985: 63, Art. 31 (b); ICZN, 1999: 38, Art. 31.2.3).
