Cinnyris sericea cochrani Stresemann and Paludan

Cinnyris sericea cochrani Stresemann and Paludan, 1932: 15 (Waigeu) .

Now Leptocoma aspasia cochrani ( Stresemann and Paludan, 1932) . See Dickinson, 2003: 708, and Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 268–269.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 301006 , adult male, collected on Waigeo (5 Waigeu) Island, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 15 May 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1221).

COMMENTS: Stresemann and Paludan gave Stein’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements of nine males and one female. Rothschild et al. (1932: 150) listed the specimens individually. Stein’s collecting on Waigeo was jointly sponsored by ZMB, Roth- schild, and L.C. Sanford for AMNH ; the types were to come to AMNH. Before the collection was divided, the Rothschild Collection was purchased for AMNH and the majority of Stein’s collection came to AMNH, the rest remaining in ZMB. Paratypes in AMNH, all collected by Stein on Waigeo in 1931, are: AMNH 301007 (Stein no. 1224), adult male, 15 May, AMNH 301008 (1219), male immature, 16 May, AMNH 301009 (1220), male immature, 30 May, AMNH 301010 (1222), adult male, 4 June, AMNH 300011 (1228) adult male, 4 June, AMNH 301012 (1226), adult male, 6 June, AMNH 301013 (1218), female, 10 May. Apparently, Stein’s specimens numbered 1223 and 1227 remained in ZMB .

Rothschild et al. (1932: 129) gave the Steins’ collecting localities; on 15 May, they were collecting at Warmek on the east bank of the northern part of Mayalibit (5 Majalibit) Bay, 00.13S, 130.45E (USBGN, 1982). Stein (1933: 260–264) also wrote concerning his stay on Waigeo.
