Rhipidura setosa nigromentalis Hartert, 1898d: 526 (Sudest) .

Now Rhipidura rufiventris nigromentalis Hartert, 1898 View in CoL . See del Hoyo et al., 2006: 238.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 651193 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Tacuta ( 5 Sudest) Island, 11.30S, 153.30E ( Papua New Guinea, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago , Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 13 April 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1721). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that the type was from Sudest. Later, he ( Hartert, 1920: 497) listed Meek’s specimen number 1721 as the type of R. s. nigromentalis, thereby designating it the lectotype. Paralectotypes are Meek specimens from Tacuta ( 5 Tagula), collected in March and April 1898, and from Misima ( 5 St. Aignan) Island, collected in August and September 1897: AMNH 651194, 651195, 651201, and 651205–651210.

Both ‘‘Tagula’’ and ‘‘Sudest’’ have been used as the name of this island; the spelling on more modern maps is Tacuta.
