Treatment

Tatare familiaris Rothschild, 1892: 109 (Laysan) .

Now Acrocephalus familiaris familiaris ( Rothschild, 1892) . See Watson et al., 1986a: 70, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 628.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 594841 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Laysan Island, Hawaii, on 18 June 1891, by Henry Palmer (no. 1092). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild did not designate a type nor did he say how many specimens he examined, although he described both male and female. Hartert (1920: 464) designated the specimen bearing Palmer’s number 1092 as the type (5 lectotype). There are six paralectotypes that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 594842 About AMNH (Palmer no. 1072) male, 594843 (1086) male, 594844 (1091) male, 594845 (1095) female, 594846 (1088) female, and 594847 (1197) male on Palmer label, female on Rothschild label ; all were collected in June 1891 by Henry Palmer.

This Laysan Island subspecies is now extinct.
