Description
Munia molucca vagans Meise
Munia molucca vagans Meise, 1929: 440 (Binongka (Tukang besi-Inseln)).
Now Lonchura molucca (Linnaeus, 1766). See Mayr, et al., 1968: 375; White and Bruce, 1986: 422; Dickinson, 2003: 734; and Payne, 2010: 367.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 721121, female, collected on Binongka (5 Binungku, as on label) Island, 05.57S, 124.02E (White and Bruce, 1986: 490), Tukangbesi Islands, Indonesia, on 12 December 1901, by Heinrich Kühn (no. 4243). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Meise gave Kühn’s unique field number of the holotype and noted that he had studied about 10 additional specimens from the Tukangbesi Islands in the Rothschild Collection. The following eight paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: Tomia Island, AMNH 721117, male; Wantjee Island, AMNH 721118, female; Binongka Island, AMNH 721119, 721120, 721122– 721124, two males, three females; Kalidupa Island, AMNH 721125, female, all collected in December 1901 and January 1902 by Kühn.
Most recent authors have considered L. molucca monotypic, but Payne recognized two subspecies, with vagans a synonym of the nominate subspecies.
