Pomarea nukuhivae Murphy & Mathews 1928

Description

NUKU HIVA MONARCH Pomarea nukuhivae

Pomarea mendozae nukuhivae Murphy & Mathews, 1928

MZUT AV2953; previously mounted; adult female; Tahiti (sic); from a Mr Colombi, in 1846.

Remarks.—Originally labelled as Tahiti Monarch P. nigra, MZUT AV2953 is undoubtedly a female P. m. nukuhivae (A. Cibois pers. comm.). See below for another specimen labelled as P. nigra. In MZUT there are 125 specimens from ‘Colombi’, mostly received in 1845–46; the labels of some indicate that Colombi was from Brest (Brittany, France), but we know nothing more about him.
