Myzomela cardinalis tenuis Mayr View in CoL

Myzomela cardinalis tenuis Mayr, 1937: 3 View in CoL (Epi Island, New Hebrides).

Now Myzomela cardinalis tenuis Mayr, 1937 View in CoL . See Bregulla, 1992: 247–249, and Higgins et al., 2008: 645–646.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 212936 View Materials , adult male, collected on Epi Island , 16.43S, 168.15E ( USBGN, 1974c), Vanuatu (5 New Hebrides), on 4 August 1926, by Virginia (Mrs. J.G.) Correia on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 21778). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of tenuis as the ‘‘Northern New Hebrides from Efate Island northward and Banks Islands.’’ Because of the huge range of this subspecies, there is a large number of paratypes from the following 20 islands: Efate, Nguna, Makura, Emae (5 Mai), Tongariki, Tongoa, Epi, Lopevi, Paama, Ambrym, Malekula, Malo, Pentecost, Aoba, Santo, and the Banks Islands of Meralav, Gaua, Vanua Lava, Malapov, and Valua. Paratypes of tenuis are: AMNH 212933–212935, 212937–212947, 212949, 212950, 212953–212971, 212972, 212975, 212977–212992, 212994, 213651–213655, 213657–212659, 214123–214132, 214134, 214136, 216230, 216231, 216234–216236, 216238–216240, 216242–216244, 216246– 216251, 216255–216257, 216260–216264,

218337–218341, 218343–218346, 224209. Nine specimens from these islands that were exchanged to other institutions in the early 1930s are not paratypes as they would not have been available to Mayr when this subspecies was named. AMNH 212970, exchanged to ZMUC in 1959, is a paratype, and is included in the paratypes listed above.
