HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 657408
, adult male, collected on
Wetar
(
5
Wetter) Island,
07.48S
,
126.18E
(
White and Bruce, 1986: 491
),
Lesser Sunda Islands
,
Indonesia
, on
14 September 1902
, by
Heinrich Kühn
(no. 5498).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert cited Kühn’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description. Earlier, in his report on Kühn’s complete Wetar collection,
Hartert (1904a: 210)
, under
Pachycephala calliope
, listed
six males
and
one female
, giving Kühn’s field numbers for them. Four male and
one female
paratypes
came to
AMNH
with the Rothschild Collection:
AMNH 657409
(Kühn no. 5497),
AMNH 657410
(5500),
AMNH 657411
(5499),
AMNH 657412
(5634), and
AMNH 657413
(5517).
AMNH 295113
, male, collected by
Kühn on Wetar
, was purchased from the dealer
W.F.H. Rosenberg
by
Leonard C. Sanford
for
AMNH
; it has no Kühn field number on the label, and so there is no way of knowing whether this is the potential fifth male
paralectotype
, specimen no. 5496 listed by Hartert.
