He had one additional specimen, paratype AMNH 294178, adult male, collected in the Wondiwoi Mountains on 14 July 1928 by Ernst Mayr (no. 1511). Mayr’s expedition was sponsored jointly by Walter Rothschild and by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH. The paratype came directly to AMNH and the holotype came in 1932 with the purchase of the Rothschild Collection. See Mayr (1930: 24) for an account of his collecting in the Wondiwoi Mountains.
