Zosterops stresemanni
Mayr, 1931b: 26
(
Malaita
Island,
British Solomon Islands
).
Now
Zosterops stresemanni
Mayr, 1931
. See

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 227362
, adult male, collected on
Malaita
Island
,
Solomon Islands
, on
6 February 1930
, by
William F. Coultas
,
Hannibal Hamlin
,
Walter J. Eyerdam
, and
Ernst Mayr
on the
Whitney
South Sea Expedition
(no. 39129).
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mayr cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
;
he did not say how many specimens he examined but gave measurements for adult and immature males and females. The following specimens are
paratypes
of
stresemanni
: males,
AMNH 227358–227361
,
227363–227388
;
females,
AMNH 227389– 227411
. The following were exchanged:
AMNH 227360
to
ZMB
,
AMNH 227371
to Berlioz (probably now in
MHNP
),
AMNH
227376 to ANSP, AMNH 227388 to ZMB, AMNH 227405 to ANSP. I did not find AMNH 227358 and 227407; they were perhaps exchanged without the catalog having been so marked.
On
6 February 1930
, the expedition vessel,
France
, was anchored at Su’u Harbour,
09.10S
,
160.56E
(USBGN, 1974b), according to Coultas’ journal V, unpublished journals of the Whitney South Sea Expedition, Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH.
