Zosterops luteirostris Hartert 1904
Description
Zosterops luteirostris Hartert, 1904b: 61 (Insula Salomonis Gizo dicta).
Now Zosterops luteirostris Hartert, 1904. See Mees, 1961a: 145–146, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396–397, Dickinson, 2003: 628, and van Balen, 2008: 463–464.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700727, adult male, collected on Gizo Island, 08.04S, 156.45E (Times Atlas), Solomon Islands, on 2 November 1903, by Albert S. Meek (no. A724). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Meek’s unique field number of the holotype but no indication of how many specimens he examined. Rothschild and Hartert (1905: 266) reported that Meek had collected five males and five females, giving Meek’s field numbers for them. Eight of the nine paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection; they were all collected by Meek on Gizo in 1903 (not 1902, as in Hartert, 1904b: 61): females, AMNH 700723 (Meek no. A606), 23 October; AMNH 700- 724 (A761), 5 November; AMNH 700725 (A748), 4 November; AMNH 700726 (A633), 26 October; males, AMNH 700728 (A795), 8 November; AMNH 700729 (A855) 14 November; AMNH 700730 (A803), 9 November; AMNH 700731 (A840), 13 November. The ninth paratype should have Meek’s no. A631.
Various authors have considered this population and the next either as separate species (Mees, 1961a: 145–147; van Balen, 2008: 463), as species in the superspecies luteirostris (Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396– 397), or as subspecies in Z. luteirostris (Mayr, 1967: 312; Dickinson, 2003: 628).
