HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 696605
, adult male, collected in the
Cycloop
(
5
Cyclops)
Mountains
,
02.32S
,

(
USBGN

Papua Province
,
Indonesia
, on
31 August 1928
, by
Ernst Mayr
(no. 2125).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description. Mayr’s fieldwork in the Cyclops Mountains was jointly funded by L.C. Sanford for AMNH and Rothschild and the collection was divided between them with a third set sent to MZB (
Hartert, 1930a: 19
). The Rothschild and Sanford portions of this collection are now in AMNH, and the following specimens are
paratypes
of
P. g.
mayri
:
AMNH
294308–294315
,
696604
,
696606–696613
,
10 males
and
7 females
collected between
22 August and 12 September 1928
. There are perhaps other
paratypes
in MZB.
Mayr (1930)
discussed collecting in this area.
