Now Zosterops stresemanni Mayr, 1931 . See Mees, 1961a: 164–165 , Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 397 , and van Balen, 2008: 464 . 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vessel, France , was anchored at Su’u Harbour, 09.10S , 160.56E (USBGN, 1974b), according to Coultas’ journal V, unpublished journals of the Whitney South Sea Expedition, Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH.
