COMMENTS
: Rothschild and Hartert had a single specimen. In the original description they placed ‘‘Mt. Maori, a little west of Humboldt Bay in Dutch New Guinea’’. However,
Mayr (1930a: 24)
was the first to realize that this locality was in the Arfak Mountains. Moari,
01.21S
,
134.13E
(Times Atlas), is a coastal locality on Geelvink Bay. It is variously written by Dumas as Mt. Moari, Mt. Maori, Moari Mt., and Maori Mt. and refers to the Arfak Mountains, inland from Moari.
The original Dumas label is missing from this specimen and it bears only a Rothschild
type
label.
