Salomonsen
Philemon novaeguineae trivialis
Salomonsen, 1966a: 9
(Collingwood Bay, north coast of southeastern New
Guinea
).
Now
Philemon buceroides novaeguineae
(Müller, 1843)
. See
Salomonsen, 1967: 409
,
Coates, 1990: 252–254
,
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 289–290

Dickinson, 2003: 436
, and
Higgins et al., 2008: 680–681
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 697135
, adult male, collected at
Collingwood Bay
,
Oro Province
,
Papua New Guinea
, on
28 June 1897
(not 1894, as in description), by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 670).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Salomonsen
(1966: 9) cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the known range as
Collingwood Bay
and the
Kumusi River
.
Paratypes
are:
Kumusi River
, females,
AMNH 697131
,
11 June 1907
;
AMNH 697132
,
26 May 1907
;
Haidana
, male,
AMNH 697134
,
18 April 1907
.
Coates (1990: 254)
apparently included
trivialis
in the range of
P. buceroides novaeguineae
, without comment;
Dickinson (2003: 436)
recognized it. Given the small size of the
type
series for this form, the great variability among individuals of this species, and the questionable location of Haidana (see Le- Croy, 2008: 216), it seems unlikely that this form should be recognized.
