See Hartert, 1919: 159; Meise, 1936: 666–667; Vaurie, 1956: 1–7; 1959: 569; Summers-Smith, 1988: 163; Dickinson, 2003: 716; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 794–795.</p><p>LECTOTYPE: <b>AMNH 719010</b>, adult male, collected on Malta Island, in May 1861, by Charles Wright (No. 4).

Hartert (1902a: 332) based his description on 34 adult males, 32 of which came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The 31 paralectotypes in AMNH are: <b>AMNH 718979 –718982</b>, <b>718985–718993</b>, <b>718996–719009</b>, and <b>719011– 719014</b>. Six of these bear Jardine labels and five of them have Jardine sale numbers in red on the reverse of the label; these probably came to Rothschild from Edward Bartlett (see Hartert, 1919: 159). The remainder came directly to Rothschild from the collectors Wright and Adams, who were collecting on Malta in 1860–1861.</p><p>The relationship of the Malta specimens to <i>P. domesticus, P. italiae</i>, and <i>P. hispaniolensis</i>, and of these species to each other, has been much discussed in the literature. The most recent treatment (Summers-Smith, 2009: 794– 795) considered the three to be separate species and <i>maltae</i> a hybrid population between <i>P. italiae</i> and <i>P. h. hispaniolensis</i>.</p> |
