Nesomimus affinis Rothschild, 1898a: 53 (Narborough Island).

Now Nesomimus trifasciatus parvulus (Gould, 1837) View in CoL . See Hellmayr, 1934: 335, and Davis and Miller, 1960: 448.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 504412 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Isla Fernandina (= Narborough Island), 00°25′S, 91°30′W ( Paynter, 1993: 136), Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, on 6 December 1897, by Rollo H. Beck on the WebsterHarris Expedition (no. 2852). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild said that he had ‘‘a small series’’, but later Rothschild and Hartert (1899: 146) noted that six specimens were collected. Only five specimens (including the type) came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Hartert (1920: 478) designated the above specimen the lectotype. Paralectotypes in AMNH are AMNH 504413, collected by Beck, and AMNH 504414, 504418, and 504419, collected by Hull, all in 1897 on the WebsterHarris Expedition.

Brewer and MacKay (2001: 222) considered N. parvulus a full species.
