COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated their single specimen from Simbang as holotype. They had four additional specimens in their type series, all of them listed as males, apparently based on plumage. All four of these came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and are paratypes: AMNH 692619 View Materials , low country near Port Moresby, 1898, purchased from a dealer ; AMNH 692626 View Materials [said to be from the upper Aroa River ], August–September 1899, collected by Weiske ; AMNH 692629 View Materials , Eafa District , 3000 ft, 1898 ; AMNH 692630 View Materials , no data. AMNH 692630 View Materials was sent to PNGM. The specimen from the Eafa District was probably collected by A.S. Anthony ( Rothschild and Hartert, 1901a: 61) .
