Cinnyris frenata meyeri Hartert

Cinnyris frenata meyeri Hartert, 1897b: 156 (northern Celebes).

Now Cinnyris jugularis plateni (Blasius, 1885) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 405–406, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 687644 , unsexed [male plumage], collected on Manadotua (5 Menado Toea) Island, 01.38N, 124.42E ( White and Bruce, 1986: 490), near northern Sulawesi (5 Celebes), Indonesia, on 13 April 1893, by C.W. Cursham. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that meyeri was from northern Sulawesi.

Later, Hartert (1920a: 426) listed as type of meyeri the unique specimen with the above data, thereby designating it the lectotype. I have considered as paralectotypes specimens collected in northern Sulawesi prior to the April 1897 publication of meyeri and labeled meyeri by Hartert: Dongala, AMNH 687639– 687642, August 1896, W. Doherty; Manadotua, AMNH 687643, 687645, 687646, April 1893, Cursham; Gorongtalo, AMNH 687647, September, 1896, Doherty, AMNH 687648, 22 September 1883, F.H.H. Guillemard; Likupang, AMNH 687649, September 1895, C. Hose; Mantehage, AMNH 687650, 24 April 1893, Cursham; Tawaya, AMNH 687651, September 1896, Doherty; Lembeh, AMNH 687652, 687653, March 1895, Cursham; Bangka Island, AMNH 687654, September 1896, Doherty.
