Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild
Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild, 1893b: xxxvi (Island of Mauai, Sandwich Islands).
Now Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild, 1893. See Rothschild, 1900: 187–188, pl. 67; Amadon, 1950: 169; Greenway, 1968: 101; Dickinson, 2003: 758; Pratt, 2005: 257–259; and Pratt, 2010: 657.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 453557, adult male, collected on Maui (5 Mauai) Island, Hawaii (5 Sandwich Islands), on 4 August 1892, by Henry Palmer (no. 1690). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Rothschild did not designate a type in the original description, describing male and female without giving the number of his specimens. Hartert (1919a: 170) listed as the type of xanthophrys Palmer’s specimen no. 1690, thereby designating it the lectotype. It is marked ‘‘Type’’ and ‘‘Recd Jan. 1893 ’’ by Rothschild. The following paralectotypes, collected by Palmer on Maui in 1892, are in AMNH: AMNH 453558 (Palmer no. 1661), male, 3 August; AMNH 453559 (1744), male, 16 August; AMNH 453560 (1739), female, 15 August; AMNH 453561 (1665), female (‘‘type’’), 3 August; AMNH 453562 (1663), unsexed, 3 August; AMNH 453563 (1662), female, no date. AMNH 453558 is marked ‘‘Figured in book’’ and ‘‘pl. 30’’ of unknown significance. There may be other specimens in BMNH from the Rothschild Bequest. Rothschild (1893b: xxxv) also introduced the generic name Pseudonestor with P. xanthophrys the type species.
Rothschild (1900: 187–188) noted that Palmer had secured a small number of specimens of xanthophrys in July and August 1892 in the highest forest on ‘‘Haleopala.’’ Palmer’s diary (Rothschild, 1900: (Di)) indicated that 1–6 August he was camped at 5000 ft on his way to the crater of Mount Haleakala, 20.43N, 155.56W (Times atlas).
