For further information on Mayr’s New Guinea expedition, see Mayr (1930a). The expedition was supported by Leonard C. Sanford for AMNH and Rothschild, and the specimens were divided between the Rothschild Museum and AMNH, with a selection going to MZB ( Hartert, 1930a). In 1932, the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH.
