Abstract

Sanford B. Dole described five nominal new taxa of Hawaiian birds in 1878, but because several of these names were quickly synonymized, their probable type specimens have been overlooked. Holotypes are here identified for Accipiter hawaii Dole (=Buteo solitarius Peale), Drepanis rosea Dole (=Vestiaria coccinea [Forster]), and D. aurea Dole (=Loxops coccineus [Gmelin]). The five specimens of Pennula millei Dole (=Porzana sandwichensis millsi [Dole]) have equal status as syntypes. Of the two supposed syntypes of Fringilla anna Dole (= Ciridops anna [Dole]), only one matches the original description and this is here considered to be the holotype.
