Phylloscopus trivirgatus cyclopum Hartert

Phylloscopus trivirgatus cyclopum Hartert, 1930b: 65 (Cyclops Mountains) .

Now Phylloscopus poliocephalus cyclopum Hartert, 1930 . See Watson et al., 1986a: 255, and Dickinson, 2003: 592.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 450291 , adult female, collected in the Cyclops Mountains , 02.32S, 140.36E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 24 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2000). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Of Mayr’s three Cyclops Mountain specimens of this form, only AMNH 450291 has data matching that given for the type in the original description. Besides an AMNH type label, it bears Mayr’s field label, the reverse of which is marked ‘‘T*’’, and a Rothschild Collection label. Publication of the name was too late for the type to have been listed in any of Hartert’s type lists.

The two paratypes are AMNH 294100 , male (Mayr no. 2320), and AMNH 294101 , female (Mayr no. 2319), both collected 12 September 1928. The male specimen is incorrectly marked ‘‘ Type!’’ in Hartert’s hand. Mayr’s expedition was jointly sponsored by L.C. Sanford for AMNH and Rothschild. The paratypes both are marked with an ‘‘s’’ within a circle, indicating that they were in Sanford’s part of the collection that came directly to AMNH ; the holotype came with the Rothschild Collection in 1932.
