Dendrobiastes hyperythrus [sic] clarae Mayr

Dendrobiastes hyperythrus [sic] clarae Mayr, 1944a: 160 (Mt. Mutis (2000 meters), Timor).

Now Ficedula hyperythra clarae (Mayr, 1944) . See White and Bruce, 1986: 354, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 137.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 308006 , adult female, collected on Mount Mutis , 2000 m, 09.35S, 124.15E (Times Atlas), Timor Island, Indonesia, on 26 February 1932, on the Expedition G. Stein 1931–1932 (no. 3205).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description but did not say how many specimens comprised his type series. Stein, of ZMB, was funded by J. Sterling Rockefeller, with the understanding that the collection would be divided between ZMB and AMNH. Paratypes are: AMNH 346002–346034. All are from Mt. Mutis except AMNH 346020, which is from Mt. Ramelau, 2200 m. AMNH 346005, 346006, 346015, 346022, 346028, 346030, and 346034 were sent to ZMB in January 1956.

Stein did not write an account of this expedition, as all of his notes were lost when his home was destroyed during World War II ( Stresemann, 1967).
