Description

Lonchura pallidiventer Restall

Lonchura pallidiventer Restall, 1996: 137 (Jakarta, apparently from south-east Kalimantan, Indonesia).

Now considered a hybrid Lonchura punctulata x L. leucogastra. See van Balen, 1998: 118–119; LeCroy, 1999: 219; Smythies, 2000: 617; and Dickinson, 2003: 735; fn. 8.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 831287, unsexed, purchased in Jakarta, Indonesia (but said to be from southeast Kalimantan, Indonesia), by R. Restall.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. The second specimen, listed as the ‘‘syntype’’ is a paratype, AMNH 831288 (not 8311288); it is a mummy and also unsexed. Two other birds are illustrated and said to be from among five observed in a dealer’s possession. The colors in Restall (1997: 32, pl. 5) are quite different from the color of the two specimens.
