HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 606717
, adult male, collected at
Kapaur
,
Onin Peninsula
,
Papua Province
,
Indonesia
, in
January 1897
(not 1896 as appears on the original label), by
W. Doherty
(no. K.1161).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated the type as an adult male, Kapaur,
January 1897
, no. T.1161, and listed the type series as
six males
(apparently in addition to the
holotype
),
one female
, and one unsexed. Through a lapsus, Doherty apparently mislabeled his
January 1897
birds as 1896, and this was corrected without comment by Rothschild and Hartert when they listed the type. The number ‘‘K.1161’’ on the field label of the
holotype
was not written by Doherty and was then miscopied onto the Rothschild type label as ‘‘T.1161’’. The above specimen is nevertheless the
holotype
, as it is the only male collected in January and the only one that bears a number of any sort on the field label.
There are
six male
,
one female
, and one unsexed
paratype
: males,
AMNH 606718
,
February 1897
, and
AMNH 606719–606723
,
December 1896
;
female,
AMNH 606724
,
December 1896
;
and unsexed,
AMNH 606725
, January ‘‘1896’’ (
5
1897)
.
Rothschild and Hartert (1901a: 56
, pl. 2) described Kapaur and quoted Doherty’s notes on his collecting there. It is shown on the south coast of the Onin Peninsula and slightly west of Fak Fak,

(USBGN, 1982a).
