Glycichaera fallax pallida

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 301014
, adult male, collected on
Waigeo
(
5
Waigeu) Island,
Papua Province
,
Indonesia
, on
26 May 1931
, by
Georg Stein
(no. 1322) on the Expedition Stein.
COMMENTS:
Stresemann
and
Paludan
gave
Stein’s
unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description, but did not say how many specimens they examined.
Rothschild et al. (1932a: 146)
later listed
seven specimens
, giving
Stein’s
field numbers.
The
expedition was jointly supported by
Rothschild, L.C
.
Sanford
for
AMNH
, and
ZMB
;
all types were to come to
AMNH
and the rest of the collection was to be divided among the three collections.
By
the time the division was made, the
Rothschild Collection
had been purchased by
AMNH
, and twothirds of the collection came directly to
AMNH
.
Paratypes
in
AMNH
, all collected on
Waigeo
in 1931, are: females,
AMNH 301015
(
Stein
no. 1323), 16
May
;
AMNH 301016
(1325), 16
May
;
AMNH 301017
(1324), 2
June
;
AMNH 301018
(1320), 11
June.
Paratypes
bearing
Stein’s
nos. 1321 and 1326 are probably in
ZMB
.
Stein did not publish his fieldnotes from this expedition, as his home and all of his notebooks were destroyed during World War II (
Stresemann, 1967: 186
). In his brief notes concerning his collecting localities,
Stein (1933: 260–264
, and
in
Rothschild et al., 1932a: 129–130
) noted that on 20–28 May he and his wife were camped in the mountainous area behind Warmek, on Mayalibit Bay,
00.13S
,
130.45E
(USBGN, 1982a), at an altitude of about
300 m
.
Molecular analysis by
Driskell and Christidis (2004)
did not support the close relationship between the genera
Timeliopsis
and
Glycichaera
proposed by
Schodde and Mason (1999: 340)
.
