Description

Zosterops lateralis norfolkensis Mathews

Zosterops lateralis norfolkensis Mathews, 1929: 10 (Near Kingston, Norfolk I.).

Now Zosterops lateralis lateralis (Latham, 1801). See Mees, 1969: 30–70, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 687–691, van Balen, 2008: 467–468, and Checklist Committee, 2010: 309–310.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 701145, adult male, collected near Kingston, 29.04S, 167.57E (Times Atlas), Norfolk Island, Australia, on 8 April 1913, by Roy Bell (no. 930). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave Bell’s unique field number of the holotype. Mathews’ collection had already been purchased by Rothschild when this subspecies was named, and Mathews listed the type as in the Rothschild Collection ‘‘ex Mathews Collection.’’ The Mathews Collection had held a large number of specimens collected on Norfolk in December 1912 through June 1913 by Bell, and all of these would have been available to Mathews in 1929; they were not entered in his catalog. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 701138– 701144, 701146–701176; I did not find AMNH 701139 in the collection.
