Description

Pachycephala gamblei Rothschild

Pachycephala gamblei Rothschild, 1897: 22 (Mount Cameron, Owen Stanley Range, 5000 feet).

Now Aleadryas rufinucha gamblei (Rothschild, 1897). See Dickinson, 2003: 474, and Boles, 2007: 410–411.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 659465, female on label (but Hartert added ‘‘s?! E.H.!’’), collected on Mt. Cameron, 5000 ft, 08.50S, 147.15E (USBGN, 1943), Owen Stanley Range, Central Province, Papua New Guinea, date illegible, by A.S. Anthony. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the originial description, Rothschild did not say how many specimens he had and did not designate a type. However, of the two Mt. Cameron specimens that came to AMNH, the above specimen is the one described, as the other specimen still has remaining immature feathers, of which no mention is made. It bears the Rothschild type label and the reverse of Anthony’s label is annotated ‘‘ Pachycephala gamblei Rothsch. type’’ in Rothschild’s hand. It is also the one listed as the type by Rothschild and Hartert (1903a: 104). The paratype is AMNH 659466, female, Mt. Cameron, 11 August 1896, A.S. Anthony collector; it has the rufous feathers of immaturity on the face and along the sides of the throat and an overall brownish wash to the plumage.
