the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Hartert gave Mayr’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description but did not say how many specimens he examined. Mayr’s expedition was supported by Rothschild and by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH, and the collection was divided between the two, with a subset sent to MZB (
Hartert, 1930a: 19
). Part of the collection came directly to AMNH, and the rest came later with the Rothschild Collection.
Paratypes
are: males, AMNH 294060–294062, 608376, and 608377. Of these, AMNH 608376 was exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s.
Mayr (1930a: 24)
landed at Wasior,
02.38S
,
134.27E
(Times Atlas), and went into the Wondiwoi Mountains from there.
