Meliphaga analoga citreola Rand, 1941: 14 (Bernhard Camp, 6 km. southwest, Idenburg River, altitude, 1200 meters, Netherland [sic] New Guinea).

Now Meliphaga orientalis citreola Rand, 1941 View in CoL . See Diamond, 1969: 39–46, Coates, 1990: 287–289, and Higgins et al, 2008: 591.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 306377 About AMNH , adult male, collected 6 km southwest of Bernhard Camp ,

1200 m, ca. 03.30S, 139.15E ( Archbold et al., 1942, map 1), Taritatu (5 Idenburg) River, Papua Province (5 Netherlands New Guinea), Indonesia, on 5 March 1939, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and W.B. Richardson on the 1938–1939 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 9838).

COMMENTS: Rand cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements for 10 males and three females from between 850 and 1200 m altitude on the slopes above the Idenburg River . However, additional males were collected that were not measured and were also part of the type series. Paratypes are: males, 1200 m, AMNH 342928–342939 About AMNH ; males, 850 m, AMNH 342941 About AMNH , 342942 About AMNH ; females, 1200 m, AMNH 342952–342954 About AMNH . Of these, AMNH 342928 About AMNH and 342953 were sent to MZB in May 1957 .

This expedition was also known as the Indisch-Amerikaansche Expeditie. For a summary of the expedition, see Archbold et al. (1942); and for an account of all of the birds, see Rand (1942b). See Diamond (1969: 39–46) for transfer of this subspecies to M. orientalis .
