Rhipidura louisiadensis Hartert, 1899a: 78 (Rossel Island in the Louisiade Archipelago).

Now Rhipidura rufifrons louisiadensis Hartert, 1899 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 476–478.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 650764 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Yela (5 Rossel) Island, 11.20S, 154.10E ( Papua New Guinea, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago , Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 30 January 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1335). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, Hartert saying only that he had six specimens. Hartert (1920: 496) listed as the type of R. louisiadensis the specimen bearing Meek’s number 1335, thereby designating it the lectotype. The type series apparently comprised six specimens in addition to the type; paralectotypes all collected on Yela by Meek in 1898 are: AMNH 650765–650770 About AMNH . AMNH 650770 About AMNH was exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s .
