Rhipidura nebulosa altera Mayr View in CoL

Rhipidura nebulosa altera Mayr, 1931b: 13 View in CoL (Savaii Island, Samoa).

Now Rhipidura nebulosa altera Mayr, 1931 View in CoL . See Watling, 2001: 153, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 227.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 206063 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Savai’i Island , Samoa, on 9 May 1924, by Rollo H. Beck on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 12445).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are AMNH 263060–263062 About AMNH and 263064–263080. Of these, the following were exchanged in January 1932: AMNH 263069 About AMNH to USNM, AMNH 263078 About AMNH to BBM, and AMNH 263080 About AMNH to USNM. The AMNH catalog also indicates that AMNH 263071 About AMNH was exchanged to Cleveland Museum of Natural History ; however, that specimen is in the collection, and AMNH 263073 About AMNH is missing and is probably the one that went to Cleveland .

The Whitney Expedition vessel France was anchored at Safune Bay, 13.26S, 172.25W (Times Atlas), Savai’i, on 9 May (R.H. Beck, unpublished journal, Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH).
