Pitohui kirhocephalus proteus Hartert
Pitohui kirhocephalus proteus Hartert, 1932: 469 (Ifaar) .
Now Pitohui kirhocephalus meyeri Rothschild and Hartert, 1903 View in CoL . See Dickinson, 2003: 490, and Boles, 2007 433–434.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 656327 View Materials , adult male, collected at Ifaar , 02.34S, 140.31E ( USBGN, 1982), Sentani Lake , Papua Province, Indonesia, on 22 September 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2513). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: When Hartert reported on New Guinea birds held in the Bogor (5 Buitenzorg) Museum ( MZB), he had retired from Rothschild’s Museum and was living in Berlin but had borrowed specimens from Rothschild, one of which was the holotype of proteus. Hartert gave Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype, but mistakenly published the date of collection as 22 September 1923. This is, indeed, the year that appears on Mayr’s field label, but he was at Ifaar in September 1928 ; the date is correctly written on the printed Rothschild Museum label. Mayr’s collection was divided between Rothschild and AMNH, with a subset sent to MZB ; the Rothschild portion came to AMNH in 1932, but the five paratypes listed individually in the original description are apparently all at MZB .
Additional specimens listed by Hartert (1932: 469) as belonging to his new form are the Tana Mera specimens listed as paratypes of meyeri (above) ; they are also paratypes of proteus: AMNH 656340 View Materials , unsexed, N.E. Coast, Tana Mera ; AMNH 656341 View Materials , female, Tana Mera, October 1896. Furthermore, Hartert included as paratypes of proteus all of the specimens identified as meyeri that were collected by Mayr at Hollandia (9), in the Cyclops Mountains (3), and at Ifaar (27) in 1928 (see Hartert, 1930b: 60–61) . Paratypes that came to AMNH are: Cyclops Mountains , AMNH 656322 View Materials , 294152 View Materials , 294153 View Materials ; Ifaar , AMNH 656323–656326 View Materials , 656328–656335 View Materials , 294138– 294147 View Materials ; Hollandia, AMNH 656336–656339 View Materials , 294148–294151 View Materials . Of these AMNH 294146 View Materials was sent to the PNGM. Rothschild may have exchanged other specimens before his collection came to AMNH .
