Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan

Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan (in Stresemann et al.), 1934: 44 (Kunupi, 1300 m).

Now Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan, 1934 . See Rand and Gilliard, 1967: 570, and Higgins et al., 2008: 584.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302589, female, collected on Mount Kunupi, 1300 m, Kobowre (5 Weyland) Mountains, 03.50S, 135.55E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indone- sia, on 11 October 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1785).

COMMENTS: Stein’s unique field number was given for the holotype in the original description. Hartert et al. (1936: 199), in their report on Stein’s Weyland Mountains collection, noted that they had two male and four female specimens. This expedition was jointly sponsored by ZMB, Rothschild, and L.C. Sanford for AMNH. The Rothschild and Sanford shares are now in AMNH. Paratypes in AMNH are: Mount Kunupi, AMNH 302586 (Stein no. 1770), male, 1400 m, 10 September 1931; AMNH 302587 (1791), male, 1300 m, 19 October 1931; AMNH 302588 (1769), female, 1500 m, 15 September 1931; AMNH 302590 (1768), female, 1300 m, 29 September 1931. The remaining paratype is probably in ZMB.

Stein (1933, 1936) published additional information concerning this expedition.
