Cnemophilus macgregorii kuboriensis Mayr and Gilliard

Cnemophilus macgregorii kuboriensis Mayr and Gilliard, 1954: 361 (Mt. Orata, above Kup, Kubor Mountains, Mandated Territory of New Guinea).

Now Cnemophilus macgregorii sanguineus Iredale, 1948 . See Mayr, 1962d: 183; Gilliard, 1969: 86– 91; Diamond, 1972: 320–322; Coates, 1990: 423–428; Cracraft, 1992: 6–7; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 183–189; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 461.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 748584 , adult male, collected on Mount Orata , ca. 9000 ft, 06.06S, 144.30E ( Frith and Beehler, 1998: 569), south of Kup, Kubor Mountains, Papua New Guinea, on 2 May 1952, by E.Thomas Gilliard.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mayr and Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype, and gave measurements of three males. The two paratypes are: Mount Orata, AMNH 705701, 705702, adult males, 7500 ft, 26 May 1950, E.T. Gilliard.

Diamond (1972: 320–322) first synonymized kuboriensis with sanguineus and subsequent authors have agreed. Cracraft (1992: 6–7) considered sanguineus to be a phylogenetic species separate from macgregorii .
