Loxops ochracea Rothschild

Loxops ochracea Rothschild, 1893f: 112 (Island of Mauai).

Now Loxops coccineus ochraceus Rothschild, 1893 View in CoL . See Rothschild, 1900: 173–176, pl. 64; Amadon, 1950: 168; Greenway, 1968: 99; American

Ornithologists’ Union, 1998: 677; Dickinson, 2003: 759; Pratt, 2005: 226–229; and Pratt, 2010: 653.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 453428 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Maui (5 Mauai) Island, Hawaii , on 20–26 September 1892, by Henry Palmer (no. 1770). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description but described both male and female; later, he ( Rothschild, 1900: 174) said that Palmer ‘‘sent a fair series.’’ Hartert (1919a: 170) listed as the type of L. ochracea an adult male bearing Palmer’s no. 1770, thereby designating it the lectotype. The date on the Rothschild type label is 20–26 September 1892, and this is the date given by Hartert, but the ‘‘26’’ has been scratched off the type label. The following paralectotypes, collected by Palmer on Maui in 1892, are in AMNH: males, AMNH 453429 (Palmer no. 1772), AMNH 453430 (1771), 25 September; AMNH 453431 (1798), 30 October; AMNH 453432 (1738), 15 August; AMNH 453433 (1709), AMNH 453434 (1706), 10 August; AMNH 453435 (1705), 9 August; AMNH 453436 (1701), 7 August; AMNH 453437 (1691), 5 August; AMNH 453438 (1687), 4 August; AMNH 453439 (1669), 3 August. Females, AMNH 453440 (1732), 13 August; AMNH 453441 (1702), 9 August; AMNH 453442 (1686), 4 August; AMNH 453443 (1692), 5 August; AMNH 453444 (1685), 4 August; AMNH 453445 (1673), 3 August; AMNH 453446 (1710), 10 August; unsexed, AMNH 453447 (1720), 10 August; female, AMNH 453448 (1796), 30 October. Other specimens may be in BMNH from the Rothschild Bequest.

Palmer mentioned in his diary ( Rothschild, 1900: (Di)) that on 6 August 1892 he started for the crater of Mt. Haleakala (20.43N, 156.10W, Times atlas). By 2 September he was on his way down the mountain GoogleMaps ; by 23 September he had reached Kipahulu (20.39.N, 156.04W, Times atlas), where he stayed until 28 September .

Pratt (2010: 653) accorded Loxops ochraceus full species status. L. coccineus ochraceus is probably extinct.
