Xanthotis chrysotis giulianettii Mayr View in CoL

Xanthotis chrysotis giulianettii Mayr, 1931c: 663 (Avera, Aroa River) View in CoL .

Now Xanthotis flaviventer saturatior (Rothschild and Hartert) View in CoL . See Coates, 1990: 275–277, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 226–227, and Higgins et al., 2008: 689–690.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696119 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Avera , ca. 08.38S, 147.05E, on the Aroa River, Central Province, Papua New Guinea, on 28 January 1903, by Albert S. Meek (no. A.134). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mayr gave Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and the range of the form from Port Moresby to the Fly River. Paratypes are specimens from localities listed by Mayr that were collected before the publication of giulianettii in 1931: AMNH 696115, female, Nicura, 21 July 1893; AMNH 696116, male, Fly River, 30 June 1876; AMNH 696117, male, Fly River, 13 May 1877; AMNH 696118, sex?, Port Moresby; AMNH 696120, female, Avera, Aroa River, 9 March 1903; AMNH 696121, female, Avera, 23 February 1903; AMNH 696130, 696131, 696132, males, Naiabui, August 1875; AMNH 696135, male, Hall Bay, 11 May 1875; AMNH 696136, female, south New Guinea, 10 May 1875; AMNH 696160, sex?, Mount Gayata. Schodde and Mason (1999: 228) considered giulianettii an intergrading population between saturatior and visi . AMNH 696116, 696117, 696130–696132, 696135, and 696136 are also paratypes of visi , see below.

This new subspecies was described by Mayr when he was working in the Rothschild Collection before this collection came to AMNH in 1932.
