COMMENTS: As explained above, Mayr’s 1928 expedition was jointly sponsored. This holotype was part of Sanford’s share of the collection and came directly to AMNH. It bears an AMNH type label and was individually designated in the original description. In the type series there were also three male specimens and one juvenile, which are paratypes: Kofo, Anggi Gita, AMNH 294413, juvenile male, AMNH 294414, 721263, 721264, adult males, all collected on 11 June 1928 by E. Mayr. The first two were part of Sanford’s share; the last two came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. See Hartert (1930 a: 18 – 19) and Mayr (1930: 20 – 26) for further information on Mayr’s expedition.
