Manucodia ater subalter Rothschild and Hartert

Manucodia ater subalter Rothschild and Hartert, 1929b: 110 (Dobbo, Aru Islands) .

Now Manucodia ater subalter Rothschild and Hartert, 1929 . See Mayr, 1941: 168; 1962d: 184; Gilliard, 1956; 1969: 95–100; Coates, 1990: 430–431; Cracraft, 1992: 8–9; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 211–217; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 462– 463.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 677266 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Dobo (= Dobbo), 05.46S, 134.13E ( USBGN, 1982), Aru Islands , Papua Province, Indonesia, on 31 November 1897, by Heinrich Kühn (no. 414). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated as the type of subalter a male specimen collected at Dobo, Aru Islands, on 31 November 1897 by H. Kühn. There are, in fact, two specimens collected on that date by Kühn, but AMNH 677266 bears a Rothschild type label, indicating that it was the intended type. It was so cataloged at AMNH and has been so considered ( Frith and Beehler, 1998: 213). In order to remove the ambiguity associated with two specimens bearing the same date, I hereby designate AMNH 277266 the lectotype of Manucodia ater subalter .

In their original description, Rothschild and Hartert gave the range of subalter as the Aru Islands , southern New Guinea to S.E. Papua, islands of Sariba and Yule. The following specimens are paralectotypes of subalter: Trangan Island, Aru Islands, AMNH 677262–677264 About AMNH , two males, one female ; Kobror Island , Aru Islands, AMNH 677265 About AMNH , female ; Dobo , Aru Islands, AMNH 677267–677273 About AMNH , two males, one female, four unsexed ; Wokam Island , Aru Islands, AMNH 677274 About AMNH , female ; Yule Island , AMNH 677275 About AMNH , 677276 About AMNH , one male, one female ; Mailu District , AMNH 677277 About AMNH , sex ?; Sariba Island , AMNH 677278 About AMNH , male, 31 May 1913, collected by A.F. Eichhorn (no. 5697) ; Mount Victoria , Owen Stanley Mountains , AMNH 677279 About AMNH , unsexed. Of these, AMNH 677272 About AMNH was exchanged to FMNH in the 1960s. Except for AMNH 677278 About AMNH from Sariba Island, collected after the description of altera, the lectotype and paralectotypes of subalter are also paratypes of M. a. altera (see above) .
