COMMENTS: The Berlin museum holds 14 out of the original
17 specimens
collected by Bürgers. At least two, the
holotype
AMNH 677964, and a female
paratype
, AMNH 677965, were forwarded to the AMNH. See
Ailuroedus melanotis guttaticollis
for details on the trip. This taxon was not considered in Meise's MS. The subspecies was named for Prof. Dr. Erwin Stresemann (1889–1972), well known ornithologist and head of Berlin's ornithological collection. Stresemann and Hartert were close friends and colleagues who cooperated in the ornithological investigation of New
Guinea
and adjacent islands (
Haffer
et al
. 2000
,
Steinheimer 2004
).
