Hemignathus affinis Rothschild View in CoL

Hemignathus affinis Rothschild, 1893f: 112 View in CoL (Island of Mauai, Sandwich group).

Now Hemignathus lucidus affinis Rothschild, 1893 View in CoL . See Rothschild, 1893g: 103–104, pl. 52; Amadon, 1950: 169; Greenway, 1968: 98; Olson and James, 1995: 383; Dickinson, 2003: 758; Pratt, 2005: 253–254; and Pratt 2010: 656–657.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 453528 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Maui (5 Mauai) Island, ca. 20.45N, 156.15W, Hawaii (5 Sandwich group), on 4 August 1892, by Henry Palmer (no. 1688). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description or indicate how many specimens he examined, but later, he ( Rothschild, 1893g: 103) gave measurements for 11 adult males and two adult females, with comments on a specimen of a ‘‘young male.’’ Hartert (1919a: 170) listed the specimen bearing Palmer’s no. 1688 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. This specimen is also marked ‘‘Type,’’ ‘‘pl. 11’’ (?), ‘‘52’’ (plate no. in Rothschild, 1893g), and ‘‘p. 123 Ibis 1893’’ (should be page 112). The following 10 paralectotypes, collected by Palmer on Maui in 1892, are in AMNH; the remainder were probably exchanged by Rothschild before the collection came to AMNH or may be in BMNH as part of the Rothschild Bequest: AMNH 453529 (Palmer no. 1689), male, 4 August; AMNH 453530 (1697), AMNH 453531 (1696), males, 9 August; AMNH 453532 (1712), male, 10 August; AMNH 453533 (1717), male, 11 August; AMNH 453534 (1743), immature male, 16 August; AMNH 453535 (1719), male, AMNH 453536 (1729), AMNH 453537 (1730), females, 13 August; AMNH 453538 (–), unsexed, only 1892 on label, all collected by Palmer. AMNH 453536 is also marked ‘‘pl. 11’’ the significance of which I was unable to determine.

According to Palmer’s diary ( Rothschild, 1900: (Di)), he was camped at 5000 ft 1–6 August 1892 and then moved up to the crater of Mount Haleakala (20.43N, 156.10W, Times atlas) for the remainder of August.
