Sericornis beccarii weylandi Mayr, 1937: 11 (Mt. Kunupi, Weyland Mts.) .
Now Sericornis magnirostra weylandi Mayr, 1937 . See Coates, 1990: 105, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 174.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 301998 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Kunupi , Pegunungan Kobowre (5 Weyland Mountains), 03.50S, 135.55E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 23 September 1931, by Georg Stein on the Expedition G. Stein 1931–1932 (no. 2389). GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements of four males (including the holotype) and three females. An eighth specimen with the sex questioned was also part of Stein’s series and would have been available to Mayr. The seven paratypes are: AMNH 301994–301997 and 301999– 302001.
Georg and Clara Stein’s Weyland Mountains collection was originally reported on by Hartert et al. (1936), where these birds were identified as S. b. cyclopum and seven males and two females listed. The Steins’ collection was divided between ZMB, Rothschild, and AMNH. By 1937, when this form was described, the Rothschild Collection was in AMNH, and the ZMB specimens would not have been available to Mayr. Thus, specimens in Berlin have no nomenclatural standing. Stein (1933, 1936) published field notes from this expedition.
In del Hoyo et al. (2007: 584–585), weylandi is considered a subspecies of S. beccarii .
