[ Zosterops lateralis mugga Mathews ]

Z. l. mugga was introduced by Mathews (1925b: 86) as a replacement name for Z. flaviceps Finsch and Hartlaub, 1867 , not Zosterops flaviceps Peale, 1848 . However, Finsch and Hartlaub (1867: 52) did not introduce a new name, listing Peale as the author of Z. flaviceps . Mathews’ name mugga has the same type as Zosterops flaviceps Peale , now in USNM ( Deignan, 1961: 510). Mathews (1930: 710) listed mugga as a synonym of Z. flaviceps Peale.
