Rhipidura cockerelli coultasi Mayr

Rhipidura cockerelli coultasi Mayr, 1931b: 5 (Malaita, British Solomon Islands).

Now Rhipidura cockerelli coultasi Mayr, 1931 . See Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 392, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 240.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 226926 , adult male, collected on Malaita Island , 3000 ft, 09.00S, 161.00E (Times Atlas), Solomon Islands (5 British Solomon Islands), on 8 April 1930, by William F. Coultas and Walter J. Eyerdam of the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 39887).

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are: AMNH 226911–226925 and 226927–226947. Of these, the following were exchanged in January 1932: AMNH 226915 and 226935 to BBM, AMNH 226917 to J. Berlioz (presumably now in MNHN), AMNH 226918 and 226941 to ZMB, AMNH 226922 to USNM, AMNH 226923 , 226931 , and 226939 to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History , AMNH 226925 to CM, and AMNH 226940 to NRM in December 1931. I did not find AMNH 226920 and 226947 in the collection ; they were perhaps exchanged with other institutions without the catalog having been so marked.
