Sericornis spilodera intermedia Greenway Sericornis spilodera batantae Mayr

Sericornis spilodera intermedia Greenway, 1966: 15 (near the summit of Mt. Besar (2800 feet), Batanta, off western New Guinea [West Irian]).

Now Sericornis spilodera batantae Mayr, 1986 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 423, and Dickinson, 2003: 445.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 789544 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Mount Batanta (5 Mount Besar ), ca. 2800 ft, 00.53S, 130.36E ( USBGN, 1982a), above Wailabet Village, on Batanta Island, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 30 June 1964, by E. Thomas Gilliard. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Greenway cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Mayr (1986b: 423–424) noted that intermedia was preoccupied by Sericornis lathami intermedia Mathews, 1912 and provided S. s. batantae as a replacement name. Paratypes are AMNH 789545–789548.

‘‘Mt. Besar’’ literally means ‘‘big mountain’’, and this mountain is usually called Mt. Batanta on maps.
