HOLOTYPE: AMNH 305908 , adult male, collected 6 km southwest of Bernhard Camp , 1200 m, Sungai Taritatu (5 Idenburg River), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 15 February 1939, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and William B. Richardson on the 1936–1937 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 9494).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. Rand (1942b: 472) listed five males (including the holotype), four females, and two of unknown sex. The paratypes are AMNH 340677–340685 and 340706. AMNH 340677 and 340685 were exchanged to FMNH in the 1960s, and AMNH 340678 was exchanged to MZB in 1957.

For a description of the locality, see Archbold et al. (1942). Bernhard Camp is shown at ca. 03.30S, 139.15E on map 1. In del Hoyo et al. (2007: 584–585), idenburgi is considered a subspecies of S. beccarii .
