Cettia everetti Hartert

Cettia everetti Hartert, 1898b: 113 (Atapupu, Timor) .

Now Cettia vulcania everetti Hartert, 1898 . See White and Bruce, 1986, del Hoyo et al., 2006: 593, and Olsson et al., 2006.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 596924 , adult male, collected at Atapupu , 09.02S, 124.53E (Times Atlas), Timor Island, Indonesia, in July 1897, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert said that he had a ‘‘small series’’ from Atapupu, but he did not designate a type. Thus, all specimens in the original series were syntypes. Later, Hartert (1920: 458) listed a male collected in July 1897 as the type, thereby referring ambiguously to two specimens with the same data. AMNH 596924 is the specimen bearing the Rothschild type label and is so cataloged at AMNH. To remove any possible confusion with regard to the status of this specimen, I hereby designate AMNH 596924 as the lectotype of Cettia everetti . The other three specimens now at AMNH are paralectotypes: AMNH 596925 , adult male, and AMNH 596926 , immature female, collected in July 1897 ; and AMNH 596917 , adult female, collected in August 1897 .
