Poecilodryas cyana atricapilla Hartert and Paludan

Poecilodryas cyana atricapilla Hartert and Paludan (in Stresemann et al.), 1934: 45 (Kunupi, 1300 m).

Now Peneothello cyanus atricapilla (Hartert and Paludan, 1934) . See Mayr, 1986d: 579, and Dickinson, 2003: 519.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302081 , adult male, collected at Kunupi , 1300 m, Pegunungan Kobowre (5 Weyland Mountains), 03.50S, 135.55E ( USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 11 September 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1970).

COMMENTS: Stein’s unique field number of the holotype was cited in the original description and 16 specimens were collected (Stresemann et al., 1934: 45). Only 15 specimens were listed by Hartert et al. (1936: 210), 13 from Kunupi and 2 from Sumuri. The Steins’ Weyland Mountain collection was divided among ZMB, Rothschild, and AMNH ( Hartert et al., 1936: 166), with the Rothschild specimens now in AMNH. The 11 paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 302078 and 302079 from Sumuri and AMNH 302080 and 302082–302089 from Kunupi.

Stein (1933, 1936) published two articles in which information on his Weyland Mountain expedition was included. Hartert et al. (1936) reported on the birds collected by the Steins.
