ISLET MONARCH Monarcha cinerascens View in CoL #

Range M. c. geelvinkianus Biak, Yapen and Mios Korwar ; M. c. steini Numfor, Mafor.

Status Teluk Cenderawasih endemic subspecies. Collected on or near Biak by Laglaize ( Meyer 1884). Although possibly overlooked, it is probably confined to small offshore islands rarely if ever visited by collectors or birders. Should be searched for on Rani and the Padaido Islands, in addition to Biak’s other offshore islets.
