Myza sarasinorum pholidota Stresemann

Myza sarasinorum pholidota Stresemann, 1932b: 106 (Tanke Salokko 2000 m).

Now Myza sarasinorum pholidota Stresemann, 1932 . See Salomonsen, 1967: 423, White and Bruce, 1986: 396, and Higgins et al., 2008: 632.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 300214 , adult male, collected on Mount Tanke Salokko , 2000 m, Mekongga (5 Mengkoka) Mountains , 03.35S, 121.15E ( USBGN, 1982a), southeast Sulawesi Island , Indonesia, on 18 December 1931, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 6080) on the Heinrich Expedition, 1931.

COMMENTS: Stresemann cited Heinrich’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and later ( Stresemann, 1940: 48) noted that he had 10 male and 14 female specimens. As in the case of the above subspecies, the collection was divided between AMNH and ZMB, with types coming to AMNH. Paratypes in AMNH, all collected on Tanke Salokko in December 1931, are: AMNH 296567 , AMNH 300215–300228 ; of these AMNH 296567 was sent in 1932 to E.D. van Oort, now in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 30), and AMNH 300215 was exchanged in January 1950 to YPM .
