  • Phonygammus neumanni Reichenow Phonygammus neumanni Reichenow, 1918: 438 (Lordberg, Sepikgebiet). Now Phonygammus keraudrenii neumanni Reichenow, 1918. See Stresemann, 1923: 43–44; Mayr, 1962d: 186; Gilliard, 1969: 104–108; Coates, 1990: 437–439; Cracraft, 1992: 14; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 229–240; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 464. SYNTYPE: AMNH 677459, adult male, collected at Durchblick (= Lordberg), 04.52S, 142.31E (Veldkamp et al., 1988: 37), East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea (formerly, Deutsch-Neuguinea), on 11 December 1912, by Joseph Bürgers on the Deutschen Kaiserin-Augustafluss-Expedition 1912–1913 (no. 871). From ZMB via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Reichenow, in the original description, did not designate a type or say how many specimens he examined. Stresemann (1923: 44) noted that six specimens had been collected. Steinheimer (2005: 10) listed five syntypes in ZMB and noted that AMNH 677459 (not 677454) might have type status. Because Stresemann listed six specimens with their wing measurements, the above example would have been sent to Rothschild after 1923 and would have been part of Reichenow’s type series. This specimen had not previously been recognized as a type despite both the Bürgers and the Rothschild labels having been marked ‘‘Cotype.’’ Stresemann (1923: 5) remarked that Bürgers and his collectors remained behind on the Lordberg (= Durchblick) while the rest of the expedition proceeded farther up the Sepik River (= Kaiserin-Augustafluss).
