Philemon novaeguineae umboi Hartert, 1926b: 143 View in CoL (Rook Island).

Now Philemon cockerelli umboi Hartert, 1926 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 410, Coates, 1990: 254, and Higgins et al., 2008: 681.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697179 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Umboi (5 Rook ) Island, 05.40S, 148.00E ( PNG, 1984), Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, on 21 July 1913, by Albert F. Eichhorn for Albert S. Meek (no. 5763). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. In reporting on the entire collection from Umboi Island, Rothschild and Hartert (1914b: 216) noted that they had six adult and two immature specimens and gave Meek’s numbers for them. Paratypes, all collected on Umboi in 1913, are: AMNH 697177 About AMNH (Meek no. 5786), female, 23 July ; AMNH 697178 About AMNH (5884), male, 31 July ; AMNH 697180 About AMNH (5858), male, 28 July ; AMNH 697181 About AMNH (5799), male, 23 July ; AMNH 697182 About AMNH (5787), female, 23 July ; AMNH 697183 About AMNH (5815), immature female, 25 July ; AMNH 697184 About AMNH (5855), immature female, 28 July .

Rothschild and Hartert (1914b: 207), in commenting on the Rook Island collection, noted that Dampier had called the island Sir George Rook’s Island and that therefore it should not be spelled ‘‘Rooke’’ as was sometimes done.
