LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 677066
, adult male, collected at
No-Tai
,
Hainan
Island
,
China
, on
3 October 1902
, by Zensaku Katsumata. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert based his description on
13 males
and females collected at No-Tai in April, September, and
October 1902
and designated as the type a male collected on 3 October. There are two males collected on that date and
Hartert (1919: 124)
did not further distinguish between them. AMNH 677066, bearing a Rothschild type label, was cataloged as the type when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH and has unquestionably been so considered. In order to remove the ambiguity presented by the second specimen, I hereby designate AMNH 677066 the
lectotype
of
Dendrocitta sinensis insulae
. The remaining
12 specimens
are
paralectotypes
:
AMNH 677062–677065, 677067–677074
, six males, six females, collected at No-Tai April, September, and
October 1902
.
