Now Pitohui cristatus arthuri Hartert, 1930 . See Dickinson, 2003: 490, Boles, 2007: 435, and Dumbacher et al, 2008.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 294125 , adult male, collected at Camp I, Cyclops Mountains , 02.32S, 140.36E ( USBGN, 1982), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 23 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1962).

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and listed two specimens, a male and a female. The paratype is AMNH 656543, female, collected at Camp I, Cyclops Mountains, on 22 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1948).

Mayr (1930) described his itinerary and collecting localities. His expedition was supported jointly by Walter Rothschild and by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH ( Hartert, 1930a: 18–19). The holotype came to AMNH with Sanford’s portion of the collection, and the paratype came in 1932, when AMNH purchased the Rothschild Collection.
