Paramythia montium brevicauda Mayr and Gilliard

Paramythia montium brevicauda Mayr and Gilliard, 1954: 372 (Saruwaged Mountains, Huon Peninsula, Mandated Territory of New Guinea).

Now Paramythia montium brevicauda Mayr and Gilliard, 1954 . See Salomonsen, 1961b: 8, Coates, 1990: 323–325, and Dickinson, 2003: 452.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 699236 , adult male, collected in the Saruwaget (5 Saruwaged) Mountains, 4000 m, 06.15S, 146.45E (PNG, 1984), Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, in August 1914, by Christian Keysser. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mayr and Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. AMNH 699237 , female, also collected by Keysser in the Saruwaget Mountains in August 1914, is the only paratype in AMNH. However , Mayr and Gilliard included in their description meas- urements from Mayr’s specimens collected in the Saruwaget Mountains in 1929 (see Mayr, 1931c: 652–653) ; those paratypes are in ZMB .
