Pachycephala griseiceps subflavidior Hartert

Pachycephala griseiceps subflavidior Hartert, 1930b: 56 (Cyclops Mountains) .

Now Pachycephala simplex jobiensis Meyer, 1874 . See Mayr, 1967: 17, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 439–440, and Boles, 2007: 416.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 294210 , adult female, collected at Cyclop I, Cyclops Mountains , 02.32S, 140.36E ( USBGN, 1982), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 23 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1959).

COMMENTS: Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype was cited in the original description; Cyclop I refers to his first camp at 800 m, described in Mayr (1930: 25). Mayr’s expedition was supported jointly by Walter Rothschild and by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH, and his specimens were shared between the two collections. The Rothschild share came to AMNH in 1932 with the purchase of his collection. Hartert (1930b: 56) noted that his type series comprised nine specimens from the Cyclops Mountains and Hollandia; the eight paratypes are: AMNH 294207–294209 and AMNH 658563–658567.
