Description

Dicaeum geelvinkianum simillimum Hartert

Dicaeum geelvinkianum simillimum Hartert, 1930b: 51 (Hollandia).

Now Dicaeum geelvinkianum diversum Rothschild and Hartert, 1903. See Salomonsen, 1960c: 28, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 383–384.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698106, adult male, collected at Jayapura (5 Hollandia), 03.00S, 139.30E (USBGN, 1982), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 1 August 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 1690). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert gave Mayr’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description, the only specimen he collected. There was one paratype: AMNH 698107, [male], collected near Humboldt Bay by J.M. Dumas; this specimen is also a paratype of D. g. diversum, above. For more information on Mayr’s expedition, see Hartert (1930a: 18–19) and Mayr (1930: 20–26).
