Pomarea mendozae nukuhivae Murphy and Mathews

Pomarea mendozae nukuhivae Murphy and Mathews, 1928: 5 (Nukuhiva Island, Marquesas).

Now Pomarea mendozae nukuhivae Murphy and Mathews, 1928 . See Holyoak and Thibault, 1984: 172–173, Cibois et al., 2004, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 298.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 195991 , adult female, collected on Nuku Hiva Island , 08.56S, 140.00W (Times Atlas), Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, on 19 October 1922, by E.H. Quayle on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 5588).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. The type series included specimens collected by the Whitney Expedition on Nuku Hiva during October and November 1922. Paratypes are: AMNH 195968–195990, 195992– 196001, 199017, 199018, and 221824–221826. Of these, three were exchanged with the Rothschild Collection and were renumbered when they returned to AMNH: AMNH 195986 (5 AMNH 655349), 195988 (5 655351), and 199018 (5 655350). AMNH 195979 and 221825 were mounted in June 1937 for the Nuku Hiva group in the Oceanic Bird Hall. I did not find the following paratypes in the collection, and they may have been exchanged without the catalog having been so marked, as was the case with the specimens that went to the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 195968, 195977, 195987, and 221824.
