description: <i>Myzomela chloroptera charlottae</i> Stresemann <i>Myzomela chloroptera charlottae</i> Stresemann, 1932a: 45 (Latimodjong-Gebirge 2200m.). Now <i>Myzomela boiei chloroptera</i> Walden, 1872. See White and Bruce, 1986: 402, Coates et al., 1997: 479–480, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 333– 334, Dickinson, 2003: 442, and Higgins et al., 2008: 641–642. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 300043</b>, adult male, collected in the Latimojong (<i>5</i> Latimodjong) Mountains, 2200 m, 03.30S, 120.05E (USBGN, 1982a), Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, on 18 June 1930, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 454). COMMENTS: Stresemann gave Heinrich’s field number of the holotype in the original description and included in the range of <i>charlottae</i> three male specimens from the Matinan Mountains as well as those from the Latimojong Mountains. Stresemann (1940: 45) listed his material as nine males and one female from the Latimojong Mountains and two males from Tanke Salokko. Paratypes in AMNH are: Latimojong Mountains, males, <b>AMNH 300044–300048</b>; Tanke Salokko, males, <b>AMNH 300051, 300052</b>. Collecting by Heinrich was jointly supported by L.C. Sanford for AMNH and ZMB and the collection was divided between the two institutions, with types coming to AMNH and a subset sent to MZB. The remaining paratypes are probably in ZMB or MZB. See Schodde and Mason (1999: 334) for a discussion of the various treatments of the Wallacean forms often considered subspecies of the species <i>M. sanguinolenta</i>. Higgins et al. (2008: 641) considered <i>M. chloroptera</i> a separate species and <i>charlottae</i> a synonym of nominate <i>chloroptera</i>.
