HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 227953
, adult male, collected on
Makira
(= San Cristobal) Island,
1900 ft
,
Solomon Islands
, on
7 December 1929
, by
Ernst Mayr
,
William F. Coultas
, and
Walter J. Eyerdam
on the
Whitney
South Sea Expedition
(no. 38609).
COMMENTS
: The AMNH number of the
holotype
was cited in the original description but Mayr did not state the number of specimens. Later, he (
Mayr, 1936a: 13
) listed his type series as
three adult
males,
one immature
male, and
six adult
females. This apparently excludes the type, as there are
four adult
males. These birds are labeled ‘‘Bauro’’, an old name for ‘‘San Cristobal’’. The
10 paratypes
are: AMNH 218593–218597 and 227954–227958.
The journals of Coultas (vol. V, pp. 233–234), and Eyerdam (vol. U, pp. 10–11, unpublished journals of the Whitney South Sea Expedition, Archives, Dept. of Ornithology, AMNH) give the locality of their camp on
7 December 1929
as
15 miles
inland from the east coast at Kira Kira (
10°30′S
,
161°55′E
, Times Atlas) at a village called HunoGaldaha or Hanagaraha,
1900 ft.
