Monarcha brodiei floridana Rothschild and Hartert

Monarcha brodiei floridana Rothschild and Hartert 1901b: 182 (Florida Island).

Now Monarcha barbatus barbatus Ramsay, 1879 . See Watson et al., 1986c: 511, Filardi and Smith, 2005, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 312.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 655049 , adult male, collected on Nggela Sula (5 Florida Island), 09.05S, 160.15E ( USBGN, 1974a), Solomon Islands, on 4 January 1901, by Albert S. Meek (no. 2740). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert did not designate a type in the original description but noted that they had two male specimens. Hartert (1920: 503) listed as type of floridana Meek’s specimen number 2740, thereby designating it the lectotype. The paralectotype is AMNH 655048, male, collected on Florida on 12 January 1901 by Meek (no. 2765).
