Crateroscelis robusta peninsularis Hartert

Crateroscelis robusta peninsularis Hartert, 1930b: 82 (Lehuma, Arfak Mountains) .

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 293883 , adult male, collected on Mount Lehuma , 01.30S, 133.55E ( USBGN, 1943), Arfak Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 8 June 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1065).

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description, and noted that nine specimens of both sexes (in addition to the holotype) were collected at Lehuma and in the mountains above Ditschi; Mayr (1930a: 22) described both of these localities. The collection was originally divided between AMNH and the Rothschild Collection, with half of the types going to each ( Hartert, 1930a: 19) and with a ‘‘third set’’ going to MZB. In this case, all of the paratypes are now in AMNH. Paratypes sent to AMNH and bearing Sanford’s stamp are AMNH 293880–293882, 293884, and 293885; those bearing a Rothschild Museum label are now AMNH 589361–589364.
