Now Melanocharis longicauda umbrosa Rand, 1941 . See Dickinson, 2003: 451 , and Gregory, 2008: 335–336 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 305910 , adult male, collected 6 km southwest of Bernhard Camp , 1200 m , ca. 03.30S , 139.15E ( Archbold et al., 1942 : map 1), Taritatu ( 5 Idenburg) River , Papua Province , Indonesia , on 27 February 1939 , by Richard Archbold , Austin L. Rand , and W.B. Richardson on the 1938–1939 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 9715). COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. Four males and one female were measured ; however, 10 specimens were cataloged and would have been available to Rand for the description of umbrosa . The nine paratypes , all collected at the same locality, 18–28 February 1939 , are: AMNH 343188 ( Archbold no. 9571), immature male, AMNH 343189 (9604), male, AMNH 343190 (9713), male, AMNH 343191 (9714), male, AMNH 343192 (9749), immature male ; AMNH 343193 (9590), female, AMNH 343194 (9716), female, AMNH 343195 (9717), female ; and AMNH 343196 (–), male. AMNH 343189 was sent to MZB in May 1957 . Rand (1942b: 511–512) , in his report on the entire bird collection from this expedition, listed four adult males, three immature males, and one adult female. I cannot explain the discrepancy ; the above information is taken from the specimen labels. Archbold et al. (1942) published a summary of this 1938–1939 expedition; it was a joint expedition with the Netherlands East Indies government and was also known as the Indisch-Amerikaansche Expeditie.
