HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697813 , adult male, collected on Romang (5 Roma) Island, 07.35S, 127.26E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 491), Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, on 10 August 1902, by Heinrich Kühn (no. 5399). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Kühn’s unique field number of the holotype of romae in the original description, but did not indicate the size of his type series. Ten specimens in addition to the holotype, collected by Kühn on Romang in August 1902, came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. These paratypes are: males, AMNH 697808–697812 ; immature male, AMNH 697814 ; females, AMNH 697815 , 697816 ; unsexed [imature males], AMNH 697817 , 697818 . AMNH 295149 , collected by Kühn on Romang in August 1902, was purchased by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH from the dealer W.F.H. Rosenberg ; there is no indication that it had been part of the Rothschild Collection, and it is not considered a paratype.
