Arachnechthra rhizophorae Swinhoe

Arachnechthra rhizophorae Swinhoe, 1869: 436 (Hainan) .

Now Cinnyris jugularis rhizophorae ( Swinhoe, 1869) View in CoL . See Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 687499 and AMNH 687500, adult males, collected on Hainan Island, 19.00N, 109.30E (USBGN, 1956d), China, in March 1868, by Robert Swinhoe. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Swinhoe, in his original description, did not designate a type or say how many specimens he collected, only noting that his new form, rizophorae, was ‘‘a very common species throughout Hainan, among the mountains as well as among the marshes of the coast.’’ In his later paper on the birds of Hainan, Swinhoe (1870: 238) spoke of collecting rhizophorae in many different localities during March of 1868. These specimens had not previously been recognized as types. There are also several syntypes in BMNH ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 461) and one in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 20).
