Description

Zosterops eichhorni Hartert

Zosterops eichhorni Hartert, 1926a: 48 (Nissan Island).

Now Zosterops griseotinctus eichhorni Hartert, 1926. See Mees, 1961a: 139–142, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396, Hadden, 2004: 219–220, and van Balen, 2008: 462–463.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700705, adult male, collected on Nissan Island, 04.25S, 154.10E, Bougainville Province, Papua New Guinea, on 16 August 1924, by Albert F. Eichhorn (no. 9577). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Eichhorn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and noted (Hartert, 1926a: 46) that he collected eight specimens, all in 1924. Only seven of these specimens came to AMNH; the six paratypes are: male, AMNH 700704 (Eichhorn no. 9472), 29 July; females, AMNH 700706 (9539), 11 August; AMNH 700707 (9467), 29 July; AMNH 700708 (9591), 20 August; AMNH 700709 (9578), 16 August; AMNH 700710 (9463), 28 July.
