1 N{ectarinia]. calcostetha Jardine, Nat. Hist. Nectariniadae, 1843, p. 263 (‘‘E. Ind. 
Islands.”) Since’ this, the earliest name for this species, the Chalcostetha insignis of 
most authors, has not, in “‘E. Ind. Islands,” a type locality definite enough for modern 
nomenclatural purposes, we designate Java as the type locality.
