Pachycephala pectoralis ornata Mayr

Pachycephala pectoralis ornata Mayr, 1932b: 8 (Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Islands) .

Now Pachycephala vitiensis ornata Mayr, 1932 View in CoL . See Galbraith, 1956: 204, Mayr, 1967: 29, Dickinson, 2003: 477, and Boles, 2007: 421.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 218022 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Nendo (5 Santa Cruz) Island, 10.45S, 165.54E ( USBGN, 1974), Santa Cruz Islands, Solomon Islands, on 24 February 1927, by Frederick P. Drowne on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 21774). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave as the range of ornata the Northern Santa Cruz Group : Santa Cruz I., Nupani (5 Nepani ) in the Swallow Islands , Lomlom and Fenualoa in the Reef Islands , and Treasurers Island and Disappointment Island in the Duff Islands. Paratypes are: Santa Cruz I., AMNH 214265 About AMNH , 214293–214296 About AMNH , 218020 About AMNH , 218021 About AMNH , 218023–218043 About AMNH , 224017 About AMNH , 224028 About AMNH ; Nupani I., AMNH 214339 About AMNH , 214340 About AMNH , 215971 About AMNH , 215972 About AMNH , 216056–215058 About AMNH ; Lomlom I., AMNH 214341–214357 About AMNH , 215962–215969 About AMNH , 216049– 216055 About AMNH ; Fenualoa I., AMNH 214358 About AMNH , 215970 About AMNH , 216059 About AMNH ; Treasurers I., AMNH 214359–214362 About AMNH , 214388 About AMNH , 214389 About AMNH , 215955– 215959 About AMNH , 216042–216048 About AMNH ; and Taumako I. (5 Disappointment I.), AMNH 214363–214387 About AMNH , 215960 About AMNH , 215961 About AMNH , 216040 About AMNH , 216041 About AMNH , 224020 About AMNH , and 224021. Of these paratypes, AMNH 214356 About AMNH , 215964 About AMNH , and 218030 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936 ; AMNH 214366 About AMNH and 214388 were exchanged to J. Berlioz in October 1932 and are probably now in MHNP ; AMNH 218020 About AMNH was exchanged to BMNH in July 1936. I did not find the following specimens in the collection, and they may have been exchanged to other institutions without the catalog having been marked: AMNH 214346 About AMNH ( Lomlom ), AMNH 214368 About AMNH , 214370 About AMNH , and 214376 (Disappointment) .

On 24 February 1926, the expedition vessel, France, was anchored in a small bay south of Cape Byron (unpublished journals of Beck, vol. D, and Drowne, archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH). Note Kanenggo (5 Cape Byron) is at 10.41S, 166.05E (USBGN, 1974).

In the original description, Mayr noted that the specimens of ornata appeared to be closely related to Fijian forms. Galbraith (1956: 204), Mayr (1967: 29), and Boles, (2007: 421) placed ornata as a subspecies of P. pectoralis , and Dickinson (2003: 477) included ornata with the Fijian group of populations in the species P. vitiensis .
