Description
Pachycephala feminina Mayr
Pachycephala feminina Mayr, 1931a: 25 (Rennell Island).
Now Pachycephala orioloides feminina Mayr, 1931. See Galbraith, 1956: 198, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 395, Dickinson, 2003: 477, Boles, 2007: 421, and Jønsson et al., 2008.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 226275, adult male, collected on Rennell Island, Solomon Islands, on 30 August 1928, by Hannibal Hamlin on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 35365).
COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description, Mayr adding that his series was collected on Rennell in August 1928 and May 1930. Paratypes are: AMNH 226269–226274, 226276–226296, 226504, and 226505. AMNH 226278 and 226293 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936.
On both visits to Rennell by the Whitney Expedition, its schooner ‘‘ France ’’ was anchored in Lughu Bay, 11.40S, 160.17E (5 Kanggava Bay, USBGN, 1974, or Kungava Bay, Mayr and Hamlin, 1931: 3).
Galbraith (1956: 198), Mayr and Diamond (2001: 395), and Boles (2007: 421) considered feminina a subspecies of P. pectoralis, while Dickinson (2003: 477) and Jønsson et al. (2008) considered it a subspecies of a Solomon Island species, P. orioloides.
