HOLOTYPE
:

Mount Goliath
,
04.40S
,
139.52E
(
USBGN

Papua Province
,
Indonesia
, on 28 (not 20)
January 1911
, by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 5229).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mayr gave Meek’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description, but miscopied the date;
he did not say how many specimens he examined.
Two
paratypes
, both collected on
Mount Goliath
, came to
AMNH
with the
Rothschild Collection
:
AMNH 691148
(Meek no. 5300), adult male, collected
5 February 1911
;
AMNH 691149
(5138), adult male, collected
20 January 1911
.
These
three specimens
are the ones
Rothschild and Hartert (1913: 515)
reported that Meek collected on Mount Goliath.
