Crateroscelis robusta deficiens Hartert

Crateroscelis robusta deficiens Hartert, 1930b: 81 (Cyclops Mountains) .

Now Crateroscelis robusta deficiens Hartert, 1930 . See Dickinson, 2003: 445.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 589356 , adult male, collected in the Cyclops Mountains , 02.32S,

140.36E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 10 September 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2266). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and listed a type series of 11 specimens. As noted under Crateroscelis robusta peninsularis , Mayr’s collection was divided between AMNH and Rothschild, with some specimens having been sent to MZB. There are 10 paratypes at AMNH: AMNH 293886–293891 , which came directly to AMNH and bear Sanford’s stamp ; and AMNH 589357–589360 , which came to AMNH via the Rothschild Collection, as did the holotype. If Hartert’s 11 specimens in the type series did not include the holotype, there is perhaps a paratype in MZB. Mayr (1930a: 24–26) described his stay in the Cyclops Mountains .
