[ Pachycephala salvadorii Rothschild ]

Pachycephala salvadorii Rothschild (1897: 22) , now P. hyperythra salvadorii was provided as a replacement name for Pachy- cephala sharpei Salvadori (1896: 88) , preoccupied by P. sharpei Meyer, 1885 . The type of Salvadori’s name is in MSNG ( Arbocco et al., 1979: 229). AMNH 658723, male, Mt. Cameron, Owen Stanley Mountains, 3000 ft, 13 August 1896, collected by A.S. Anthony, bears a Rothschild type label and was listed by Hartert (1920a: 447) as the type of P. salvadorii in error. Hartert (1920a: 447) refers to Rothschild and Hartert (1903a: 107) where the name salvadorii was used as a replacement name for P. sharpei Salvadori and the specimen from Mt. Cameron is listed, but there is no indication there that it was considered a type. Because the specimen bears a Rothschild type label and has always been so considered, it remains in the AMNH type collection with a label added to explain its status. Mayr (1967: 14) did not list Pachycephala sharpei Salvadori.
