Pachycephala pectoralis alfurorum Stresemann

Pachycephala pectoralis alfurorum Stresemann, 1914a:132 (Gunung Sofia (Mittel-Seran), 4800f.).

Now Pachycephala macrorhyncha macrorhyncha Strickland, 1849 . See Galbraith, 1956: 202, White and Bruce, 1986: 479–481, Dickinson, 2003: 476, and Boles, 2007: 421.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 657506 , adult male, collected on Mt. Sofia , 4800 ft, Seram Island, Moluccas, Indonesia, on 14 June 1911, by Erwin Stresemann (no. 614) on the Second Freiburger Molukken-Expedition. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann designated as holotype his specimen no. 614, giving measurements of 10 males and 10 females from Seram; in addition, there were a number of immatures that were probably not measured. Twelve of Stresemann’s specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection ; the 11 paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 657501–657505 , AMNH 657507–657510 , AMNH 657512 , and AMNH 657513 , from Manusela, Mt. Sofia , Wahai, Mt. Hoale, and Orangebirge. There are 11 paratypes in NNM ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 6–7), and Stresemann (1914: 133) also listed specimens collected by Stalker on Seram that are probably in BMNH .
