Arachnothera longirostris prillwitzi Hartert

Arachnothera longirostris prillwitzi Hartert, 1901c: 51 (Mount Gedeh, Java).

Now Aracnothera longirostra prillwitzi Hartert, 1901 . See Dickinson, 2003: 714, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 317.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 685331 , adult female, collected on Mt. Gede (5 Gedeh), 3000 ft, 06.47S, 106.59E ( Mees, 1996: 105), Java Island , Indonesia, on 10 July 1898, by Ernst Prillwitz (no. 14). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that he had six specimens from Java; five of which came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, all from Prillwitz. The sixth specimen may have been exchanged by Rothschild before the collection came to AMNH. Two additional specimens from Java were collected for Prillwitz in May 1901, after the February publication of the name. Hartert’s (1901c: 51) type was only said to be from Mt. Gede and from the Prillwitz Collection. Later, he ( Hartert, 1920a: 427) listed as the type Prillwitz’s specimen no. 14, thereby designating as lectotype the specimen that is now AMNH 685331. The four paralectotypes in AMNH, all from Mt. Gede are: AMNH 685332, female, 10 July 1898 (Prillwitz no. 15); AMNH 685333, female, October 1897 – January 1898 (no. 41); AMNH 685334, female, October 1897 – January 1898 (no. 63); AMNH 685335, unsexed, April 1898 (no. 49).
