Myzomela nigrita steini Stresemann and Paludan View in CoL

Myzomela nigrita steini Stresemann and Paludan, 1932: 14 (Waigeu) View in CoL .

Now Myzomela nigrita steini Stresemann and Paludan, 1932 View in CoL . See Dickinson, 2003: 441, and Higgins et al., 2008: 639.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 301045 View Materials , adult male collected on Waigeo (5 Waigeu) Island, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 2 June 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1299).

COMMENTS: Stresemann and Paludan gave Stein’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said that he collected two males, two females, and one immature male on Waigeo. The Steins’ expedition was sponsored jointly by L.C. Sanford for AMNH, Rothschild, and ZMB and was to be divided three ways, with types coming to AMNH. By the time the results were published, the Rothschild Collection had been purchased by AMNH, and the type and two paratypes came directly to AMNH ; the remaining two paratypes are in ZMB. Paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 301044 View Materials (Stein no. 1302), male?, 1 June 1931 ; AMNH 301046 View Materials (1301), female, 2 June 1931 .

Stein (1933: 260–264, 1936: 29) wrote several preliminary accounts of his stay on Waigeo, including a description of the Lam-Lam Mountains (Lamlam is at 00.03S, 130.44E (USBGN, 1982a)) where he and his wife were collecting in early June ( Rothschild et al., 1932a: 129–130). A full account of the Waigeo expedition was never published as Stein’s home and all of his notes were destroyed in WWII ( Stresemann, 1967: 186–187).
