Pachycephala pectoralis brunneipectus Mayr

Pachycephala pectoralis brunneipectus Mayr, 1932b: 4 (Epi Island).

Now Pachycephala caledonica intacta Sharpe, 1900 View in CoL . See Galbraith, 1956: 201, 208, Mayr, 1967: 28–29, Dickinson, 2003: 477, and Boles, 2007: 421.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 212778 View Materials , adult female, collected on Epi Island , 16.43S, 168.15E ( USBGN, 1974), Vanuatu (5 New Hebrides), on 5 August 1926, by Jose Correia on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 21813). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, and gave the range of the subspecies as Mai , Tongariki , Epi , Lopevi , Pauuma , and Ambrym islands in the Epi Group, Vanuatu. The paratypes are: Tongariki, AMNH 212726 View Materials ; Epi, AMNH 212727–212732 View Materials , 212774–212777 View Materials , 2 View Materials 1 2 7 7 9–2 1 2 7 8 3, 213679–213681, 215990, 216008, 224035 ; Pauuma, AMNH 212733 View Materials , 212734 View Materials ; Ambrym, AMNH 212735 View Materials , 213682 View Materials ; Lopevi, AMNH 212738 View Materials , 212739 View Materials , 213677 View Materials , 213678 View Materials , 213716 View Materials , 213717 View Materials ; and Mai, AMNH 212740–212745 View Materials . AMNH 212732 View Materials and 212777 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936. I did not find AMNH 212729 in the collection .

Galbraith (1956: 201) considered brunneipectus a synonym of P. pectoralis chlorura ; Mayr (1967: 128–129) and Boles (2007: 421) listed it as a synonym of P. pectoralis intacta ; and Dickinson (2003: 477) combined subspecies from the southern Santa Cruz islands to New Caledonia, including intacta, in the species P. caledonica .
