Merops Urica Horsfield, 1821

1821 Transactions of the Linnean Society of London 13: 172.

Now Merops leschenaulti quinticolor Vieillot, 1817 .

See Hartert, 1892: 55.

Paralectotype: MHNG 129.075, unsexed individual collected in Java between 1811 and 1817 by T. Horsfield.

Comment: The NHM claims the “ holotype ” (Warren, 1966: 302), which becomes the lectotype with the discovery of this additional specimen (see details in the introduction). The UMZC claims a “ syntype ” (Benson, 1999: 62), which should be a paralectotype like the specimen in Geneva.
