Zosterops stresemanni Mayr View in CoL

Zosterops stresemanni Mayr, 1931b: 26 View in CoL (Malaita Island, British Solomon Islands).

Now Zosterops stresemanni Mayr, 1931 View in CoL . See Mees, 1961a: 164–165, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 397, and van Balen, 2008: 464.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 227362 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Malaita Island , Solomon Islands, on 6 February 1930, by William F. Coultas, Hannibal Hamlin, Walter J. Eyerdam, and Ernst Mayr on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 39129).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype ; he did not say how many specimens he examined but gave measurements for adult and immature males and females. The following specimens are paratypes of stresemanni : males, AMNH 227358–227361 About AMNH , 227363–227388 About AMNH ; females, AMNH 227389– 227411 About AMNH . The following were exchanged: AMNH 227360 About AMNH to ZMB, AMNH 227371 About AMNH to Berlioz (probably now in MHNP), AMNH

227376 to ANSP, AMNH 227388 to ZMB, AMNH 227405 to ANSP. I did not find AMNH 227358 and 227407; they were perhaps exchanged without the catalog having been so marked.

On 6 February 1930, the expedition vessel, France, was anchored at Su’u Harbour, 09.10S, 160.56E (USBGN, 1974b), according to Coultas’ journal V, unpublished journals of the Whitney South Sea Expedition, Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH.
