  • Ptilotis finschi Rothschild and Hartert Ptilotis finschi Rothschild and Hartert, 1903b: 448 (mountains of British New Guinea). Now Pycnopygius ixoides finschi (Rothschild and Hartert, 1903). See Salomonsen, 1967: 402, Coates, 1990: 273, and Dickinson, 2003: 436. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696683, unsexed, collected in the mountains of Papua New Guinea, purchased from the dealers McIlwraith and McEacharn in October 1898, Emil Weiske preparation. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: When this form was named, there was a single specimen in the Rothschild Collection, but a specimen in RMNH from Milne Bay was said to be finschi and is a paratype. Salomonsen (1967: 402) thought that the collecting locality of this specimen might be the Aroa River. Weiske collected on the Aroa River between August 1899 and January 1900; this holotype was received by Rothschild from the dealer in 1898 and could not have been part of that collection. Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan (in Stresemann et al.), 1934: 44 (Kunupi, 1300 m). Now Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan, 1934. See Rand and Gilliard, 1967: 570, and Higgins et al., 2008: 584. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 302589, female, collected on Mount Kunupi, 1300 m, Kobowre (5 Weyland) Mountains, 03.50S, 135.55E (USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indone- sia, on 11 October 1931, by Georg Stein (no. 1785). COMMENTS: Stein’s unique field number was given for the holotype in the original description. Hartert et al. (1936: 199), in their report on Stein’s Weyland Mountains collection, noted that they had two male and four female specimens. This expedition was jointly sponsored by ZMB, Rothschild, and L.C. Sanford for AMNH. The Rothschild and Sanford shares are now in AMNH. Paratypes in AMNH are: Mount Kunupi, AMNH 302586 (Stein no. 1770), male, 1400 m, 10 September 1931; AMNH 302587 (1791), male, 1300 m, 19 October 1931; AMNH 302588 (1769), female, 1500 m, 15 September 1931; AMNH 302590 (1768), female, 1300 m, 29 September 1931. The remaining paratype is probably in ZMB. Stein (1933, 1936) published additional information concerning this expedition. Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan (in Stresemann et al.), 1934: 44 (Kunupi, 1300 m). Now Pycnopygius cinereus dorsalis Stresemann and Paludan, 1934.
