Lonchura spectabilis wahgiensis Mayr and Gilliard View in CoL

Lonchura spectabilis wahgiensis Mayr and Gilliard, 1952: 7 View in CoL (Kegalsugl, south slope of Mt. Wilhelm, Bismarck Mountains, Central Highlands, Mandated Territory of New Guinea).

Now Lonchura spectabilis wahgiensis Mayr and Gilliard, 1952 View in CoL . See Mayr and Gilliard, 1954: 372; Mayr et al., 1968: 383; Diamond, 1972: 410–412; Coates, 1990: 342–344; Dickinson, 2003: 736; and Payne, 2010: 376.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 348398 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Keglsugl (5 Kegalsugl ), ± 8000 ft, 05.50S, 145.06N (J. Mandeville, personal commun.), south slope of Mount Wilhelm , Bismarck Mountains , boundary of Western Highlands, Simbu, and Madang provinces, Papua New Guinea (5 Central Highlands, Mandated Territory of New Guinea), on 17 June 1950, by E. Thomas Gilliard. View Materials

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description and the range was given as the Wahgi and Simbu (5 Chimbu) valleys from 5200 to ± 8000 ft and ‘‘presumably’’ birds from the Sarawaget and Herzog mountains . These latter were not examined and are not included in the type series. Mayr and Gilliard (1954: 372) listed a number of specimens that had been examined (not necessarily collected) with respect to molt, but this 1954 publication covered specimens collected by Gilliard in both 1950 and 1952. Only those collected in 1950 are part of the type series of wahgiensis. Paratypes are: Nondugl, AMNH 706012–706016 About AMNH , males, collected in April and May 1950 ; Mount Wilhelm , AMNH 706017 About AMNH , female, collected 17 June 1950 ; Base Camp, Tomba, Mount Hagen , AMNH 706018 About AMNH , sex?, 22 July 1950. This last specimen was sent to AM in 1953 .
