HOLOTYPE: AMNH 422406 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Wuroi , 08.50S, 143.07E ( Deignan, 1964a: 234), Oriomo River, Western Province, Papua New Guinea, on 7 February 1934, by Richard Archbold and Austin L. Rand, on the 1933–1934 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 2784). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description and three specimens from Wuroi comprised the type series. The two paratypes are: AMNH 422405 (Archbold no. 2575), immature male and AMNH 422407 (2574), immature female, both collected at Wuroi on 25 January 1934.

A summary and itinerary of this expedition by Archbold and Rand (1935: 576) identified Wuroi as the landing place on the Oriomo River for the oil-drilling company that had been working at Dogwa. Mayr and Rand (1937) published on the birds collected in 1933–1934.
