Paradisea minor jobiensis Rothschild

Paradisea minor jobiensis Rothschild, 1897b: 46 (Jobi Island in Geelvink Bay).

Now Paradisaea minor jobiensis Rothschild, 1897 View in CoL . See Hartert, 1919: 129; Mayr, 1962d: 201; Gilliard, 1969: 229–236; Cracraft, 1992: 37; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 439–448; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 487.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 678912 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Yapen (= Japen, or Jobi) Island, 01.05S, 136.02E ( Frith and Beehler, 1998: GoogleMaps

572), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 9 November 1883, from the F.H.H. Guillemard Collection. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Only adult males were mentioned in the original description, where Rothschild was said to have five specimens ‘‘collected by Dr. Guillemard and others.’’ No type was designated. Hartert (1919: 129), by listing as type the unique specimen collected on 9 November 1883 and bearing Guilemard’s label, designated it the lectotype.

The four paralectotypes, all adult males from Yapen Island, are: AMNH 678911 About AMNH , undated, from the Guillemard Collection ; AMNH 678913 About AMNH , 10 November 1883, from the Guillemard Collection ; AMNH 678914 About AMNH , 9 November 1883, collected by R. ff. Powell ; AMNH 678915 About AMNH , undated, collector unknown. Other Yapen specimens that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection were either collected after the description was published or were not fully adult .

Guillemard (1885c: 651–652) reported on the specimens of P. minor collected on Yapen; the extemely large number of specimens collected may or may not have included any collected by Lt. R. ff. Powell, who was aboard the yacht Marchesa, owned by C.T. Kettlewell, on which the Guillemard party was traveling ( Guillemard, 1889: 286). Powell’s label is similar to Guillemard’s but has only his name printed on it.
