Pachycare flavogrisea subpallida Hartert

Pachycare flavogrisea subpallida Hartert, 1930b: 53 (Bihagi, head of Mambare River).

Now Pachycare flavogriseum subpallidum Hartert, 1930 . See Dickinson, 2003: 474, and Boles, 2007: 409.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 659798 , adult (female on label, changed to male by E. H[artert]), collected at Bihagi , head of Mambare River, Oro Province, Papua New Guinea, on 28 March 1906 by Albert F. Eichhorn for Albert S. Meek (no. A. 2670). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Meek’s field number in the original description. This specimen lacks the dusky ear patch of females, and Hartert commented on the incorrect sexing of some of these specimens. The type series included specimens from the Mambare River, the Aicora River, and a female from the Rawlinson Mountains . Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 659795– 659797 , males, collected on the Mambare River in March 1906 ; AMNH 659807– 659811 , three males, one female, one sex?, collected on the Aicora River in October– December 1905 ; and AMNH 659813 , female, no date, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains by C. Keysser .

The mouth of the Mambare River is at 08.30S, 147.45E ( PNG, 1984).
