(Vulcan Island).

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 654439
, adult male, collected on
Manam Island
(
5
Vulcan Island
or
Manumudar Island
),
04.05S
,
145.05E
(
Papua New Guinea
, 1984
),
Madang Province
,
Papua New Guinea
, on
4 December 1913
, by
Albert S. Meek
(no. 6358).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Rothschild and Hartert gave Meek’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description and noted that they had
seven males
and
three females
, giving the field numbers for each. Six of the
nine paratypes
came to
AMNH
with the Rothschild Collection:
AMNH 654440
(Meek no. 6372), 654441 (6482), 654442 (6429), 654443 (6486), 654444 (6485), and 654445 (6493)
;
of these,
AMNH 654441
was exchanged to
FMNH
in the early 1960s. The three remaining
paratypes
bearing field numbers 6315, 6401, and 6464 were either ultimately not purchased from Meek by Rothschild or were exchanged by him before the collection came to
AMNH
.
