Pitohui jobiensis brunneivertex Rothschild

Pitohui jobiensis brunneivertex Rothschild, 1931: 262 (Mt. Derimapa) .

Now Pitohui kirhocephalus brunneivertex Rothschild, 1931 . See Dickinson, 2003: 490, and Boles, 2007: 433–434.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302921 , adult male, collected on Mt. Derimapa , 5000 ft, Gebroeders Range , 03.40S, 135.55E ( USBGN, 1943), Kobowre (5 Weyland) Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 24 June 1930, by Frederick Shaw Mayer (no. 42).

COMMENTS: In the original description, male number 42 from Mt. Derimapa was designated as the holotype. This specimen bears only an AMNH type label, which was incorrectly marked ‘‘ syntype.’’ A second AMNH type label has been added, indicating that it is a holotype. Shaw Mayer’s collecting in the Gebroeders was supported jointly by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH and Walter Rothschild and was to be divided between the two museums. However, before this division occurred, Rothschild sold his collection to AMNH and Shaw Mayer’s specimens all came directly to AMNH. Rothschild’s type series comprised two males from Mt. Derimapa and one female from the Siriwo River. The two paratypes are: AMNH 302922 (Shaw Mayer no. 83), male, Mt. Derimapa , 28 June 1930 ; AMNH 302923 (4), female, Siriwo River, 30 miles above mouth, 9 June 1930 .
