Phylloscopus trivirgatus albigula Rothschild Phylloscopus poliocephalus albigularis Hartert and Paludan

Phylloscopus trivirgatus albigula Rothschild, 1931: 262 (Mt. Derimapa, 5,000 ft.).

Now Phylloscopus poliocephalus albigularis Hartert and Paludan, 1936 . See Watson et al., 1986a: 254, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 671–672.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302883 , adult male, collected on Mount Derimapa , 5000 ft, Gebroeders Mountains , 03.39S, 135.56E ( USBGN, 1982a), Weyland Range, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 23 June 1930, by Fred Shaw Mayer (no. 35).

COMMENTS: Apparently, Shaw Mayer collected a single specimen of this form. His expedition to the Gebroeders Mountains was supported jointly by Rothschild and by AMNH. Both parts of this collection came to AMNH when the Rothschild Collection was purchased in 1931. Hartert and Paludan (in Hartert et al., 1936: 218) provided albigularis as a nomen novum for P. t. albigula Rothschild, 1931, preoccupied by Phylloscopus indicus albigula Hesse, 1912.
