COMMENTS: Stresemann, whose note was published in
July 1922
, accidentally received priority for this name by referring to Neumann's manuscript, which appeared in print on
1 September 1922
(
Neumann 1922: 236
). By 1949–1950, Meise could not trace the single specimen and it still cannot be located despite intensive search. No biographic data on Kunzmann and his New
Guinea
trip(s) could be obtained.
