Hemignathus lanaiensis Rothschild View in CoL

Hemignathus lanaiensis Rothschild, 1893a View in CoL : xxiv (in insulâ Sandwichensi ‘Lanai’ dictâ).

Now Hemignathus ellisianus lanaiensis Rothschild, 1893 View in CoL . See Rothschild, 1893g: 89–90, pl. 48; Amadon, 1950: 168; Greenway, 1968: 98; Olson and James, 1995: 384; American Ornithologists’ Union, 1998: 675; Dickinson, 2003: 758; Pratt, 2005: 247; and Pratt, 2010: 647.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 453489 About AMNH , male, collected on Lanai Island, 20.50N, 156.55W (Times atlas), Hawaii (5 insulâ Sandwichensi), on 22 November 1892, by Henry Palmer (no. 1855). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description in which male, female, and young male were described. Hartert (1893: xxxiii) ‘‘exhibited the type-specimens [syntypes] of Hemignathus lanaiensis, Rothschild , from Lanai, described at the last Meeting of the Club,’’ but no details were given. Hartert (1919a: 170) noted that only three specimens were secured, although Palmer saw another five, and by listing the male specimen bearing Palmer’s no. 1855 as the type, he designated it the lectotype; it is also marked ‘‘ Type ,’’ ‘‘ Recd Jan. 1893,’’ ‘‘pl 7’’ by Rothschild. There is only one paralectotype at AMNH: AMNH 453490 About AMNH (Palmer no. 1848), male, collected on Lanai Island on 21 November 1892 (and marked ‘‘recd Jan. 1893,’’ ‘‘pl. 7,’’ and ‘‘ Type,’’ which has been crossed out) ; the bill of this specimen is broken. This was Rothschild’s ‘‘young male’ ’; the female is in BMNH as part of the Rothschild Bequest. I have not discovered the significance of ‘‘pl. 7.’’

According to Palmer’s diary ( Rothschild, 1900: (Di)), he landed at Maunalei (? Manele Bay) on 3 November 1892 and collected on a peak near Lanaihale (20.48N, 156.54W, Times atlas).

Olson and James (1995: 384) introduced the genus Akialoa in which they included lanaiensis as a full species. The American Ornithologists’ Union (1998: 675) merged lanaiensis into the species ellisianus but retained it in the genus Hemignathus , as did Dickinson (2003: 758). Pratt (2005: 247) accorded lanaiensis full species status in Hemignathus , and Pratt (2010: 647) listed it as a full species in the genus Akialoa . H. e. lanaiensis is now extinct.
