LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 658007
, adult male, collected on
Yela
(
5
Rossel
) Island,
11.20S
,
154.10E
(
PNG
, 1984),
Louisiade Archipelago
,
Milne Bay Province
, Papua New Guinea, on
8 February 1898
, by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 1405).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, nor was a type mentioned in
Hartert’s (1899a: 78)
report on the entire Rossel Island collection.
Hartert (1920a: 448)
listed the type as Meek’s specimen no. 1405, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The type series comprises only those specimens from the Rothschild Collection collected by Meek on Rossel in 1898.
Paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 658008–658015
,
three adult
males,
one immature
male, and
four females
. Two of these, AMNH 658011 and 658013, have tags initialed by O[tto] F[insch], who apparently compared a male and a female specimen from Meek’s collection with specimens of
Pachycephala littayei
from the
Loyalty Islands
.
Galbraith (1956: 203)
synonymized
rosseliana
with
P. pectoralis collaris
;
Coates (1990: 211)
and
Boles (2007: 421)
recognized
rosseliana
as a subspecies of
P. pectoralis
; and
Dickinson (2003: 476–477)
considered
rosseliana
a subspecies of
P. citreogaster
.
Pachycephala pectoralis sexuvaria
