MZUT AV11657; mount; adult male; USA, Hawaii, Kaua’i Island, 1900; collected by R. C. L. Perkins.

Remarks.—In the MZUT manuscript catalogue, AV11657 is named Hemignathus procerus . According to Olson & James (1995) the name Hemignathus stejnegeri S. B. Wilson, 1889 , has priority over H. procerus Cabanis, 1890 ; the dating of Wilson’s work (1889) is confirmed by Evenhuis (2003) and Dickinson (2011). However, in Dickinson & Christidis (2014) the description of stejnegeri is dated as 1890. The Torino museum was not listed among those institutions that possess specimens of the species ( Hume & Walters 2012).
