Description
Aethopyga seheriae owstoni Rothschild, 1910: 32 (Nauchau Island, off Kwangtung Peninsula, S. China).
Now Aethopyga siparaja owstoni Rothschild, 1910. See Dickinson, 2003: 713, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 313–314.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 686477, adult male, collected on Nao Chou Tao (5 Nauchau Island), 20.56N, 110.33E (Times Atlas), Guangdong (5 Kwangtung) Province, China, on 6 January 1907, by collectors for Alan Owston (no. N. 10). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Rothschild gave the above data for his type, the date of 6 January 1907 being unique for the specimen that is now AMNH 686477, and noted that he had 17 male specimens. The holotype bears in addition to the Owston label, Rothschild Collection and type labels and was confirmed as the type by Hartert (1920a: 425). Fourteen of the 16 paratypes (all of which bear the number ‘‘N. 10’’) came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 686469– 686476 and 686478–686483, all collected on Nao Chou Tao between 1 and 10 January 1907 by Owston’s collectors.
