Sericornis perspicillata goodsoni Hartert

Sericornis perspicillata goodsoni Hartert, 1930b: 84 (Lehuma) .

Now Sericornis rufescens ( Salvadori, 1876) . See Mayr, 1941: 121, and Dickinson, 2003: 446.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601680 , adult male, collected on Mount Lehuma , 01.30S, 133.55E ( USBGN, 1943, spelled Lehoema), Arfak Mountains , Papua Province, Indonesia, on 4 June 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 975). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and listed five males, two [female] immatures, and three females from Lehuma, Dohunsehik in the Issim Valley, and mountains near Ditschi. Eight of the nine paratypes are in AMNH: AMNH 293856– 293860, 601679, 601681, and 601682. Mayr’s collection was divided between Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH and Rothschild, with a subset to go to ZMB. The ninth paratype is perhaps in Berlin.
