Graucalus pusillus ombriosus Rothschild and Hartert, 1905: 264 (Gizo Island).

COMMENTS: The Meek number of the type was given in the original description. The handwriting on the type label is not that of Meek, and the field number is preceded by an ‘‘A’’, indicating that the specimen was probably collected by one of the Eichhorn brothers, who collected for and with Meek. Paratypes are AMNH 562184, 562186– 562194, and 562199–562205.
