Clytorhynchus vitiensis vatuana Mayr

Clytorhynchus vitiensis vatuana Mayr, 1933b: 12 (Tuvutha Island, Fiji Islands).

Now Clytorhynchus vitiensis vatuanus Mayr, 1933 . See Watling, 2001: 156.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 252270 , adult male, collected on Tuvuca (5 Tuvutha) Island, 17.40S, 178.48W ( USBGN, 1974c), Fiji, on 10 September 1924 by Rollo H. Beck and Jose Correia, on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 14427).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. Paratypes from Tuvuca, Yacata (5 Yathata), and Vatuvara islands are: AMNH 252262, 252265–252268, 252268bis, 252269, 252270bis, 252271–252279, 252281–252283, and 252380. Of these, I did not find AMNH 252273 and 252281 in the collection, and it is possible that they were exchanged to other museums and not so marked in the catalog.
