Xanthotis chrysotis kumusii Mayr View in CoL
Xanthotis chrysotis kumusii Mayr, 1931c: 663 View in CoL (Kumusiriver[sic]).
Now Xanthotis flaviventer kumusii Mayr, 1931 View in CoL . See Coates, 1990: 275–277, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 227–228, and Higgins et al., 2008: 689– 690.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696142 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Kumusi River , 08.30S, 148.10E (PNG, 1984), Oro Province, Papua New Guinea, on 19 May 1907, by Albert S. Meek (no. 2973). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mayr cited Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as the Aicora River , the Kumusi River , the Hydrographer Range , and specimens from Collingwood Bay. The following paratypes are in AMNH: Aicora River, AMNH 696137–696140 About AMNH , three males, one female, September–October 1905 ; Kumusi River , AMNH 696141 About AMNH , 696143 About AMNH , 696144 About AMNH , one male, two females, May 1907 ; Hydrographer Range , AMNH 696145– 696152 About AMNH , six males, two females, January– April 1918 ; Haidana Island , Collingwood Bay, AMNH 696153 About AMNH , 696154 About AMNH , male and female, April 1907. Mayr described this form while working in the Rothschild Collection, prior to its coming to AMNH in 1932 .
Salomonsen (1967: 387) and Coates (1990: 277) recognized kumusii, Schodde and Mason (1999: 228) suggested that it represents intergradation between visi and madaraszi, and it was included in visi by Higgins et al. (2008: 689). X. f. kumusii, as originally described, is a circumscribed population known from between Dyke Acland Bay and Mambare Bay (Aicora 5 Gira River). It is usually cited as occurring in Collingwood Bay, but it seems that this is based on Meek’s specimens from ‘‘Haidana Island.’’ Despite intensive searching, I ( LeCroy, 2008: 216) have been unable to find this locality and consider it dubious. The specimens from the Hydrographer Mountains are said on the Rothschild labels to come from west of Dyke Acland Bay. I think that more study is needed.
