Meliphaga analoga flavida Stresemann and Paludan View in CoL

Meliphaga analoga flavida Stresemann and Paludan (in Rothschild et al.), 1932a: 147 (Japen, 450 m.).

Now Meliphaga analoga flavida Stresemann and Paludan, 1932 View in CoL . See Diamond, 1969: 38–46, and Higgins et al., 2008: 591.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302685 View Materials , adult male, collected on Yapen (5 Japen) Island, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 6 March 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 421).

COMMENTS: Stresemann and Paludan cit- ed Stein’s unique number of the holotype in the original description and said that flavida occurred on Yapen and along the north coast of New Guinea between the Mamberamo (5 Mamberano) River and Astrolabe Bay . It is not clear from the publication whether Stein’s collection other than the Psittacidae , which was studied by Rothschild , was worked on in Rothschild’s Collection or in ZMB, and it is uncertain, therefore, which specimens in addition to those collected by Stein on Yapen might be paratypes. Stein collected under the auspices of L.C. Sanford for AMNH, Rothschild, and ZMB. Because AMNH purchased the Rothschild Collection in 1932, two-thirds of Stein’s collection came to AMNH and one-third went to ZMB, with a subset sent to MZB. Paratypes of flavida from Stein’s Yapen collection now in AMNH are: AMNH 302686–302694 View Materials ; of these, AMNH 302687 View Materials was exchanged to UMZC, and AMNH 302688 View Materials was sent to PNGM .

The Steins collected in the vicinity of Serui (5 Seroei), 01.53S, 136.14E (USBGN, 1982a) on Yapen and their entire collection was studied by Rothschild et al. (1932b: 207–247). See also, Stein (1933: 256–258, 1936) for additional information on this expedition.
