Description
Astrapia rothschildi Foerster
Astrapia rothschildi Foerster (in Foerster and Rothschild), 1906: 2 (Mountains of German New Guinea).
Now Astrapia rothschildi Foerster, 1906. See Hartert, 1919: 129; Mayr, 1962d: 193; Gilliard, 1969: 161–163; Coates, 1990: 456–457; Cracraft, 1992: 23; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 273–276; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 468–469.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 678080, adult male, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains, 800– 1000 m, 06.32S, 147.17E (Frith and Beehler, 1998: 570), Huon Peninsula, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea (formerly German New Guinea), in December 1905, by Carl Wahnes. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Foerster described male and female but did not designate a type. Hartert (1919: 129) listed the male, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains in December 1905 by Wahnes as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. Only one other specimen collected before the 1906 publication of the name came to AMNH, paralectotype AMNH 678081, female, collected in the Rawlinson Mountains in December 1905 by Wahnes.
