Description

Philemon eichhorni Rothschild and Hartert

Philemon eichhorni Rothschild and Hartert, 1924: 8 (Hills on S.W. coast of New Ireland).

Now Philemon eichhorni Rothschild and Hartert, 1924. See Salomonsen, 1967: 410, Coates, 1990: 254–255, and Higgins et al., 2008: 681–682.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697200, adult male, collected on the southwest coast of New Ireland, 2500 ft, 03.20S, 152.00E (PNG, 1984), New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea, on 22 January 1924, by Albert F. Eichhorn (no. 8981). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert gave Eichhorn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. Hartert (1925: 133), in his report on Eichhorn’s New Ireland collection, noted that nine specimens were collected, but Eichhorn’s field numbers were not listed. Eight of these specimens came to AMNH. The seven paratypes in AMNH are: males, AMNH 697197 (Eichhorn no. 8839), 5 December 1923; AMNH 697198 (8878), 17 December 1923; AMNH 697199 (8939), 3 January 1924; females, AMNH 697201 (9001), 26 January 1924; AMNH 697202 (8829), 1 December 1923; AMNH 697203 (9023), 5 February 1924; AMNH 697204 (9036), 8 February 1924.
