Abstract
From 1962 to 1967 Hoogerwerf described 16 new taxa of birds from Java and its satellite islands. His description of each new taxon was based on 3 to 34 specimens. Despite the regulations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), which clearly stipulated to designate the type specimens, Hoogerwerf had designated two and in one case three “type†specimens for each of the 14 out of his 16 new taxa, instead. In order to preserve stability of nomenclature, we reevaluate and designate the paratypes, lectotypes, paralectotypes of these Hoogerwerf’s new taxa. These type specimens are deposited in the collections of MZB. Key words: Aves, type specimen, ICZN, Java, MZB
