Pachycephala griseiceps waigeuensis Stresemann and Paludan

Pachycephala griseiceps waigeuensis Stresemann and Paludan (in Rothschild, Stresemann and Paludan), 1932: 153 (Waigeu).

Now Pachycephala simplex waigeuensis Stresemann and Paludan, 1932 . See Dickinson, 2003: 475, and Boles, 2007: 416.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 300911 , adult male, collected on Waigeo (5 Waigeu) Island, 00.14S, 130.45E ( USBGN, 1982), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 3 June 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1185).

COMMENTS: Stein’s unique field number of the holotype was cited in the original description. Stresemann and Paludan gave measurements for 10 males, one juvenile male, six females, and three juvenile females and noted that they also had two males, two females, and one immature that were in molt, giving a total of 25 specimens. The Waigeo expedition was sponsored jointly by ZMB and Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH ( Stresemann and Paludan, 1932: 13–14). Types came to AMNH and the collection was then divided between the two institutions, with an additional selection going to MZB. Of the paratypes, 14 came to AMNH: AMNH 300906–300910 , 300912 , 300913 , males ; and AMNH 300914–300920 , females, all collected in May and June 1931. Of these specimens, AMNH 300912 and 300916 were exchanged to FMNH in the 1960s .
