Zosterops westernensis subsp. vegeta Hartert
Description
Zosterops westernensis vegeta Hartert
Zosterops westernensis vegeta Hartert, 1899c: 425 (Cape York).
Now Zosterops lateralis vegetus Hartert, 1899. See Mees, 1969: 80–86, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 687–691, and van Balen, 2008: 467–468.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 700950, adult male, collected on ‘‘ Cape York,’’ northern Queensland, Australia, on 15 July 1898, by collectors for Albert S. Meek (no. 1941). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, Hartert only saying that the types were shot in July, without mentioning the number of specimens taken. Six syntypes came to AMNH. Hartert (1920: 433) listed the specimen bearing Meek’s number 1941 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The five paralectotypes are: males, AMNH 700948, 700949, 700951; females, AMNH 700952, 700953, all collected on Cape York in July 1898.
Mees (1969: 80) discussed this population under the name Z. l. ramsayi; however, Schodde and Mason (1999: 690–691), in their more recent study, have recognized vegetus, and this has been followed by van Balen (2008: 467).
Parker (1966: 121–122) showed that in July 1898, Meek’s collectors were on the Chester River, 13.42S, 143.33E.
