HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695918 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Tacuta (5 Tagula 5 Sudest ) Island, 11.30S, 153.30E ( PNG, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago , Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 8 April 1898, by A.S. Meek (no. 1696). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert cited Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description but did not mention other specimens. However, Hartert (1898a: 527), in his account of Meek’s 1898 collection from Tacuta, reported under Ptilotis notata that Meek sent a series of seven specimens. Only six of those specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The five paratypes in AMNH are: males, AMNH 695917 About AMNH (Meek no. 1723), AMNH 695919 About AMNH (1712) ; females, AMNH 695927– 695929 About AMNH (1603, 1743, 1785) .
