Lonchura leucogastra castanonota Mayr

Lonchura leucogastra castanonota Mayr, 1938: 45 (Riam (Kotawaringin), South Borneo).

Now Lonchura leucogastra castanonota Mayr, 1938 . See Mayr et al., 1968: 378; Smythies, 2000: 613–614; Dickinson, 2003: 735; and Payne, 2010: 368.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 446825 , adult male, collected at Riam , 01.51S, 111.50E (Times atlas), Kota Waringin River, Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia, on 14 November 1935, by J.J. Menden.

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed his type series. Paratypes are: Parit, AMNH 447933–447935 , male juvenile, male adult, female adult, June and July 1935 ; Riam, AMNH 447936 , 447937 , male adult, female adult, November and December 1935, all collected by J.J. Menden. Menden was a commercial collector from Cheribon, Java, who made the collection for AMNH ( Mayr, 1938: 5) .

Lonchura tristissima hypomelaena Stresemann and Paludan Lonchura tristissima hypomelaena Stresemann and Paludan (in Stresemann et al.), 1934: 43 (Kunupi, 1200 m). Now Lonchura tristissima hypomelaena Stresemann and Paludan, 1934. See Mayr, 1941: 220; Rand and Gilliard, 1967: 596; Mayr et al., 1968: 378; Dickinson, 2003: 735; and Payne, 2010: 365–366. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302661, adult male, collected at Kunupi, Pegunungan Kobowre (5 Weyland Mountains), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 21 September 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 2178). COMMENTS: Stresemann and Paludan gave Stein’s unique field number of the type in the original description and noted that they had six specimens. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 302662–302664, two males, one female, collected at Kunupi, on 22–23 September 1931, by the Steins. The other two paratypes are probably in ZMB. See Hartert et al. (1936: 165–240) for a report on the entire collection. Clara and Georg Stein collected in New Guinea under the auspices of W. Rothschild, E. Stresemann for ZMB, and L.C. Sanford for AMNH, and the collection was to be divided among the sponsors, with types to come to AMNH. The Rothschild Collection came to AMNH in 1932, while the report on the Stein Collection was being written, so three-fourths of it came directly to AMNH (Hartert, et al., 1936: 166). A single specimen, AMNH 303042, collected by Fred Shaw Mayer in the Weyland Mountains in 1930 and reported on by Rothschild (1931: 257) was treated as subsp.? and not named. It was not part of the type series of hypomelaena. Stein (1933, 1936) reported on their stay in the Weyland Mountains; and he ( Stein, 1933: 289–306) described the period at Kunupi, which is shown on the map in Hartert et al. (1936: 168) as on the middle Menoo River (03.50S, 135.25E, USBGN, 1943).
