(

Netherlands
New
Guinea), on

, by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 4688).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Rand
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description. ‘‘
Setekwa River’
’ does not appear on
Meek’s
label, but
Rothschild and Hartert (1913: 473)
, in their report on
Meek’s
1910 collection, noted that ‘‘
Most of Meek’s
collections were made on the
Setekwa
River
, a small tributary of the
Oetakwa
[
5
Utakwa]
River
, and at elevations from
2500 to 3000 ft.
’’
The
junction of the
Setekwa
and
Utakwa
rivers is at
04.54S
,
137.19E
(
USBGN
, 1982).
Rand
did not list his type series but gave measurements of
four males
and
two females
, the same number of specimens listed by
Rothchild
and
Hartert
(1913: 511) with
Meek’s
field numbers.

, all collected by
Meek
in 1910, are:
