Chlorura intermedia

Quick answer

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description. Adult and young males were described, and Hartert said that he had nine specimens collected by Doherty and nine collected by Everett on Lombok. Hartert (1919 a: 142) listed the type as a male collected on Lombok at 4000 ft, in June 1896, by Doherty, thereby designating it the lectotype. AMNH 722006 is the only male Doherty specimen collected at 4000 ft and it bears a Rothschild type label. Paralectotypes from Lombok in AMNH are: collected by Doherty in June 1896, AMNH 216416, sex?, AMNH 722007 – 722013, four males, three females, from between 1000 and 4000 ft; collected by Everett in June and July 1896, AMNH 722005, 722014 – 722016, two males, two females. The remaining five Everett paralectotypes were probably exchanged by Rothschild before the collection came to AMNH. AMNH 216416 was exchanged to AMNH in August 1927, prior to the Rothschild Collection coming to AMNH in 1932. Hartert reported separately on the Doherty (1896 a: 555 – 565) and the Everett (1896 c: 591 – 599) collections from Lombok.
