Pinarolestes megarhynchus hybridus Meise

Pinarolestes megarhynchus hybridus Meise, 1929: 17 (Tana Mera, Nordostküste von Holländisch- Neuguinea).

Now Colluricincla megarhyncha hybridus ( Meise, 1929) . See Ford, 1979, Dickinson, 2003: 489, and Boles, 2007: 431.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 657132 , adult male, collected at Tanahmerah Bay (5 Tana Mera), 02.24S, 140.20E ( USBGN, 1982), Papua Province (5 Holländisch-Neuguinea), Indonesia, in October 1896, by William Doherty. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Apparently, Meise had a single specimen; the type with the above data was said to be in the Rothschild Collection, and it bears a red type label in Meise’s hand. The sex of this specimen was incorrectly noted as ‘‘female’’ on the Rothschild Museum label, but is given as ‘‘male’’ on the original field label and is so published by Meise. This description appeared after the last of Hartert’s lists of types in the Rothschild Collection. See David and Gosselin (2002: 36) for spelling ‘‘ hybridus.’’
