Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa Rand

Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa Rand, 1941: 14 (Setekwa River, 2000 ft., Netherland [sic] New Guinea).

Now Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa Rand, 1941 . See Salomonsen, 1960c: 27, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 383–384.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698101 , adult male, collected at 2000 ft, southern watershed of the Maoke (5 Snow ) Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia (5 Netherlands New Guinea), on 1 September 1910, by Albert S. Meek (no. 4688). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rand cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. ‘‘ Setekwa River’ ’ does not appear on Meek’s label, but Rothschild and Hartert (1913: 473), in their report on Meek’s 1910 collection, noted that ‘‘ Most of Meek’s collections were made on the Setekwa River, a small tributary of the Oetakwa [5 Utakwa] River, and at elevations from 2500 to 3000 ft. ’’ The junction of the Setekwa and Utakwa rivers is at 04.54S, 137.19E ( USBGN, 1982). Rand did not list his type series but gave measurements of four males and two females, the same number of specimens listed by Rothchild and Hartert (1913: 511) with Meek’s field numbers. Paratypes, all collected by Meek in 1910, are: Setekwa River, AMNH 698097 (Meek’s no. 4201), ‘‘female,’’ but probably immature male, with one red feather in breast, 20 June ; Upper Setekwa River, AMNH 698098 (4490), adult male, 9 August, AMNH 698099 (4450), female, 30 July ; Snow Mountains , AMNH 698100 (4861), adult male, 20 October, AMNH 698102 (4702), adult male, 3 September .
