HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 252040
, adult male, collected on Viti Levu,
18.00S
,
178.00E
(
USBGN
, 1974c),
Fiji
, on
5 May 1925
, by
Rollo H. Beck
on the
Whitney
South Sea Expedition
(no. 17845).
COMMENTS
: Mayr cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description.
Paratypes
are other
Whitney Expedition
specimens from
Viti
Levu
:
AMNH 252028–252039
,
252041
,
252041
bis, and 252042–252050
;
of these,
AMNH 252039
is on display in the
Fiji
diorama in the
Whitney Hall of
Oceanic Birds.
I did not
find AMNH
252038 and 252044
; they were perhaps exchanged to other institutions without the catalog having been so marked.
