Now Pachycephala schlegelii cyclopum Hartert, 1930 . See Boles, 2007: 419.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 294236 , adult female, collected in the Cyclops Mountains , 02.32S, 140.36E ( USBGN, 1982), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 31 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2123).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype. Mayr’s collecting in New Guinea was jointly sponsored by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH and Walter Rothschild. Hartert studied Mayr’s entire Cyclops collection, not saying how many specimens of this form he examined but giving measurements for 13 males and 11 females, presumably including the type. After study, the collection was divided between AMNH and Rothschild, with a sample set sent to MZB. Sanford’s share came directly to AMNH and those specimens are stamped with an ‘‘S’’ within a circle ; the remainder, except for any that may have gone to MZB, came to AMNH with the purchase of the Rothschild Collection in 1932. It is also possible that some specimens were exchanged by Rothschild before 1932. Paratypes cataloged in

AMNH are: males, AMNH 294230–294234 , 658317–658321 ; females, AMNH 294235 , 294237 , 294238 , 658322–658326 . Of these, AMNH 294234 and 658325 were exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s. Perhaps some of the three males and two females that are unaccounted for are in MZB .
