Gerygone chloronota meisei Stresemann and Paludan
Gerygone chloronota meisei Stresemann and Paludan, 1932: 16 (Waigeu) .
Now Gerygone chloronota cinereiceps (Sharpe, 1886) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 445, and Dickinson, 2003: 448.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 300808 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Waigeo (5 Waigeu) Island, 00.14S, 130.45E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 11 June 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1429). Collected on the Expedition G. Stein 1931–1932. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Stein’s field number of the holotype was cited in the original description; however, two specimens were listed with this number by Rothschild et al. (1932a: 158). The second one bearing the date 11 June 1931 should have been listed with Stein’s no. 1439 (see below). Apparently, Stresemann originally intended to name this form steini as this name is written on the field label along with ‘‘Typ’’, but it was never introduced under that name, and the type label from the ZMB bears only meisei .
Stein collected nine specimens ( Rothschild et al., 1932a: 158). Types from Stein’s collection came to AMNH, and the remain- der was divided between ZMB and Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH (labels of which are stamped with an ‘‘S’’ within a circle). The four paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 300805 About AMNH (Stein no. 1437), male, 10 May 1931 ; AMNH 300806 About AMNH (1440), male, 21 May 1931 ; AMNH 300807 About AMNH (1426), male, 4 June 1931 ; and AMNH 300809 About AMNH (1439), male, 11 June 1931. Stein (1933) published information on his itinerary on Waigeo .
Mayr (1986b: 445) considered meisei a synonym of aruensis and Dickinson (2003: 448) included Waigeo in the range of cinereiceps , but with a question. Comparative material is lacking at AMNH, but zoogeographically the arrangement of Dickinson seems more reasonable.
