Description
Lonchura atricapilla selimbaue Restall
Lonchura atricapilla selimbaue Restall, 1995: 155 (Selimbau, Kalimantan Barut, 0 ° 379N, 112 ° 089E).
Now Lonchura atricapilla jagori (Martens, 1866). See Snow, 1997: 4; Restall, 1997: 129; LeCroy, 1999: 219; Smythies, 2000: 614–616; Dickinson, 2003: 735; and Payne, 2010: 369–370.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 831285, unsexed, said to be from Selimbau, 00.37N, 112.08E, Kalimantan Barat (not Barut), Borneo, Indonesia, no date of collection given, collected by C. Choa.
COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. A second specimen from the same locality (also unsexed) was given to AMNH at the same time and is presumably a paratype: AMNH 831284. The number of specimens seen by Restall is not given, nor are we told how they were sexed, but inclusive measurements were given for males and females (LeCroy, 1999: 219), although Restall’s method of taking measurements does not allow them to be compared to standard avian measurements.
Dickinson (2003: 735) included atricapilla in the broad species L. malacca; Payne (2010: 369–370) considered atricapilla a separate species based on recent mitochondrial DNA studies.
Snow (1997: 4) suggested that the spelling of selimbaue should be amended to selimbauensis, and this was followed by Restall (1997: 129), Smythies (2000: 615, under L. malacca), and Payne (2010: 369), but it is my understanding now that selimbaue is not necessarily an incorrect original spelling, rather that the original spelling, selimbaue, is a non-Latin or -latinized word and that it should be treated as indeclinable. In such a case the original spelling is to be retained with the termination unchanged (ICZN, 1985: 63, Art. 31 (b); ICZN, 1999: 38, Art. 31.2.3).
