Comments.

Lesson did not mention the number he examined nor in which collection. The syntypes of Sphecothera grisea are also part of the type series of Sphecothera viridis Vieillot 1816. The type locality is erroneous (terres Australes), and therefore corrected and restricted to: West-Timor, near Kupang Bay (article 76a.2.A (ICZN 1999)). Lesson named this species Sphecothera grisea or ‘grey’ ( Jobling 2017). See Sphecotera viridis .
