Description

Certhidea drownei Rothschild

Certhidea drownei Rothschild, 1898: 53 (Culpepper Island).

Now Certhidea olivacea becki Rothschild, 1898. See Hellmayr, 1938: 143, and Dickinson, 2003: 796.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 522616, adult male, collected on Darwin (5 Culpepper) Island, 01.39N, 92.00W (Paynter, 1993), Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, on 27 July 1897, by Rollo H. Beck on the Webster-Harris Galapagos Expedition (no. 148). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description, noting that he had only two specimens, both marked as males; Rothschild and Hartert (1899: 150) did not add further information. Hartert (1919: 172) listed as the type of drownei the specimen bearing the unique field no. 148, thereby designating it the lectotype. The paralectotype is: AMNH 522617, male, Darwin Island, 27 July 1897, by Beck.
