Chlamydera lauterbachi uniformis Rothschild

Chlamydera lauterbachi uniformis Rothschild, 1931: 250 (Siriwo River, 45 miles above mouth, S. of Geelvink Bay).

Now Chlamydera lauterbachi uniformis Rothschild, 1931 . See Mayr, 1941: 185; 1962c: 181; Gilliard, 1969: 385–397; Coates, 1990: 404–410; and Frith and Frith, 2004: 388–395; 2009a: 401–402.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 303018 , adult male, collected on the Siriwo River , 45 miles above the mouth, 03.04S, 135.54E ( USBGN, 1982), head of Geelvink Bay , Papua Province, Indonesia, on 15 June 1930, by Fred Shaw Mayer (no. 22). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild gave the collector’s field number of the holotype and noted that Shaw Mayer had collected a male and a female at the same locality. The paratype is AMNH 303019, female, 15 June 1930.

Shaw Mayer’s 1930 collecting trip was jointly sponsored by Rothschild and AMNH and reported on by Rothschild (1931). The collection was to be divided between Rothschild and AMNH, but before the division occurred, the entire collection came to AMNH with the purchase of the Rothschild Collection in 1932. The Shaw Mayer collection was, however, cataloged separately from the rest of the Rothschild Collection.
