HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 294036
, adult female, collected in the
Wondiwoi Mountains
,
02.45S
,
134.35E
(

, 1982a), ‘‘
Wandammen Peninsula’
’,
Papua Province
,
Indonesia
, on
17 July 1928
, by
Ernst Mayr
(no. 1564).
COMMENTS
: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description. He did not say how many specimens he examined, but gave measurements of
three females
.
Paratypes
, both from Wondiwoi, are: AMNH 294035, adult female,
11 July 1928
, and AMNH 659826, adult female,
12 July 1928
. Mayr’s collecting was supported by Rothschild and by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH. Types and part of the collection came directly to AMNH, and the remainder came to AMNH with the purchase of the Rothschild Collection, apart from a selection sent to MZB.
Hartert (1930a)
and
Mayr (1930a)
also discussed Mayr’s expedition. The ‘‘Wandammen Peninsula’’ is the peninsula to the east of Wandamen Bay that juts into southern Geelvink Bay (now Teluk Cenderawasih).
Mayr (1930a: 24)
entered the mountains from Wasior,
02.38S
