Sericornis beccarii wondiwoi Mayr

Sericornis beccarii wondiwoi Mayr, 1937: 11 (Wondiwoi Mts., northwestern New Guinea (Wandammen District)).

Now Sericornis magnirostra wondiwoi Mayr, 1937 . See Coates, 1990: 105, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 174.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 293861 , adult male, collected in the Wondiwoi Mountains , 02.45S, 134.35E ( USBGN, 1982a), ‘‘ Wandammen Peninsula’ ’, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 9 July 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1421).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, giving measurements of three males (including the holotype) and one female. Paratypes are AMNH 293862, 293863, and 601551. Hartert (1930b: 83–84) reported on this collection, including these birds as part of his type series of S. magnirostris cyclopum (see below). In del Hoyo et al. (2007: 584– 585), wondiwoi is considered a subspecies of S. beccarii .

The ‘‘Wandammen Peninsula’’ is the peninsula jutting into Geelvink Bay east of Wandammen Bay. Mayr (1930a: 24) collect- ed inland from Wasior, 02.38S, 134.27E (Times Atlas), in the Wondiwoi Mountains.
