Ptiloprora guisei mayri Hartert View in CoL

Ptiloprora guisei mayri Hartert, 1930b: 49 (Cyclops Mountains) View in CoL .

Now Ptiloprora mayri mayri Hartert, 1930 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 414, Diamond, 1969: 46–55, and Higgins et al., 2008: 658.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696605 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Cycloop (5 Cyclops) Mountains , 02.32S, 140.36E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 31 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2125). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

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.
