Myza sarasinorum chionogenys Stresemann

Myza sarasinorum chionogenys Stresemann, 1931c: 84 (Latimodjong-Gebirge 2200 m).

Now Myza sarasinorum chionogenys Stresemann, 1931 . See Salomonsen, 1967: 422, White and Bruce, 1986: 396, and Higgins et al., 2008: 632.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 293300 , adult male, collected in the Latimojong (5 Latimodjong) Mountains, 2200 m, 03.30S, 120.05E ( USBGN, 1982a), Sulawesi Island , Indonesia, on 25 June 1930, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 608). From the Heinrich Expedition, 1930.

COMMENTS: Stresemann gave Heinrich’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description without saying how many specimens were in his type series, nor did he later ( Stresemann, 1940: 48) add this information. Heinrich’s collection was made jointly for AMNH and ZMB, and the specimens were divided between them, with types coming to AMNH ; specimens in both ZMB and AMNH are paratypes. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 293287–293299 , 293301–293354 ; of these, AMNH 293292 was a gift in October 1932 to Professor Sarasin in Basel (now probably in NMB) ; AMNH 293307 and 293328 were given in October 1932 to E.D. van Oort (now in RMNH, see Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 30), AMNH 293310 and 293325 were exchanged in July 1932 to MCZ, and AMNH 293337 was exchanged in January 1950 to YPM .
