Description

Pitohui dichrous monticola Rothschild

Pitohui dichrous monticola Rothschild, 1904: 79 (Upper Aroa River in British New Guinea).

Now Pitohui dichrous (Bonaparte, 1850). See Mayr, 1967: 49, Coates, 1990: 228–229, Boles, 2007: 434, and Dumbacher et al., 2008.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 656429, adult male, collected at Avera, Aroa River, Central Province, Papua New Guinea, on 27 January 1903, by Albert S. Meek (no. A. 124). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Meek’s unique field number of the holotype was given in the original description, and he was said to have collected a series on the Upper Aroa River. Four paratypes collected there by Meek at Avera in 1903 came to AMNH: AMNH 656427 (Meek no. A 209), male, 6 January; AMNH 656428 (A 237), male, 16 February; AMNH 656430 (A 139) male, 28 January; AMNH 656431 (A 58), female, 23 January. AMNH 656430 was exchanged to FMNH in the 1960s.

The late W.S. Peckover had researched the location of Avera and thought that it was at ca. 08.38S, 147.05E; this is very near Aveve, which he found to be at 08.40S, 147.05E.
