Poecilodryas albonotatus correctus Hartert

Poecilodryas albonotatus correctus Hartert, 1930b: 68 (Mount Cameron, Owen Stanley Range) .

Now Poecilodryas albonotata correcta Hartert, 1930 . See Coates, 1990: 192, and Dickinson, 2003: 519.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 608259 , adult male, collected on Mount Cameron , 7000 ft, 08.50S, 147.15E ( USBGN, 1943), Owen Stanley Mountains, Papua New Guinea, on 10 August 1896, by A.S. Anthony. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The date of collection of the holotype was unique for a male. Hartert listed measurements for nine males and four females and gave the range of the form as southeastern New Guinea. Eleven males and four females from southeastern New Guinea in addition to the holotype came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and two of these had been marked immature by Hartert. They would have been in Hartert’s hands when he named this form, and I consider them paratypes: AMNH 608258 , male, and AMNH 608260 , female, from Mt. Cameron ; AMNH 608261–608264 , males, and AMNH 608265 and 608266, females, from Owgarra , Angabunga River ; AMNH 608267 , immature male, AMNH 608268 and 608269, males, and AMNH 608270 , female, from Bihagi , head of Mambare River ; AMNH 608271 , male, and AMNH 608272 , immature male, from Avera , Aroa River ; and AMNH 608273 , male, from Aroa River . All of these specimens were collected between 1896 and 1906. AMNH 216434 from Bihagi, head of Mambare River, was part of the same collection as the above birds, but it was exchanged to AMNH in 1927 and would not have been in Hartert’s hands when correctus was described .
