Acrocephalus stentoreus lentecaptus Hartert

Acrocephalus stentoreus lentecaptus Hartert, 1924c: 21 (Ampenan, northern Lombok).

Now Acrocephalus stentoreus lentecaptus Hartert, 1924 . See White and Bruce, 1986: 344–345, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 699.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 594491 , adult male, collected at Ampenan , 08.35S, 116.05E (Times Atlas), northern Lombok Island, Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, in June 1896, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Everett collected two specimens of this form (see Hartert, 1896g: 593, where it is listed as Acrocephalus longirostris ). Neither in his original description nor in his list of Rothschild types did Hartert (1928: 214) distinguish between these two specimens, which bear the same data. A Rothschild type label is attached only to AMNH 594491, indicating Hartert’s intent that that specimen be the type, and in order to confirm Hartert’s intent and remove ambiguity, I hereby designate AMNH 594491 the lectotype of Acrocephalus stentoreus lentecaptus . AMNH 594492 becomes a paralectotype.

Measurements are given in the original description for five specimens. Perhaps Hartert borrowed specimens from other museums, as there are no other Lombok specimens from the Rothschild Collection in AMNH.
