Xanthotis frenata olivascentior Rothschild, 1931: 258 (Mt. Derimapa, 5,000 ft.).

Now Lichenostomus subfrenatus utakwensis ( Ogilvie-Grant, 1915) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 391, and Higgins et al., 2008: 595–596.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 303033 About AMNH , female, collected on Mount Derimapa , 5000 ft, Gebroeders Range , 03.39S, 135.56E ( USBGN, 1982a), Kobowre (5 Weyland) Mountains , Papua Province, Indonesia, on 29 June 1930, by Fred Shaw Mayer (no. 88). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Rothschild designated the female specimen collected by Shaw Mayer as the holotype in the original description and noted that he had one paratype, now AMNH 696052, adult, collected on Mount Kunupi, Kobowre (5 Weyland) Mountains, 6000 ft, Papua Province, Indonesia, in November–December 1920, by the Pratt Brothers.

Rothschild (1931) published on the collection made by Shaw Mayer under the auspices of Rothschild and L.C. Sanford for AMNH. The ‘‘s’’ within a circle stamped on this type indicates that it was originally in Sanford’s share of the collection, but all of the collection came to AMNH in 1932, with the purchase of the Rothschild Collection. Shaw Mayer collected a single specimen of this form.
