Description

Oedistoma pygmaeum waigeuense Salomonsen

Oedistoma pygmaeum waigeuense Salomonsen, 1966a: 2 (Waigeu Island).

Now Oedistoma pygmaeum waigeuense Salomonsen, 1966. See Dickinson, 2003: 451, and Gregory, 2008: 337–338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 301021, adult male, collected on Waigeo (5 Waigeu) Island, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 5 June 1931, on the Expedition Georg Stein 1931–1932 (no. 1472).

COMMENTS: Salomonsen cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, but made no mention of how many specimens he examined. Rothschild et al. (1932a: 146) listed six specimens collected by the Steins on Waigeo; however, only four of those specimens came to AMNH. The three paratypes in AMNH are: males collected 3 June 1931, AMNH 301019 (Stein no. 1473), AMNH 301020 (1474); female collected 22 May 1931, AMNH 301022 (1475). Stein’s expedition was jointly sponsored by L.C. Sanford for AMNH, Rothschild, and ZMB. By the time this collection was distributed, the Rothschild Collection had been purchased by AMNH and twothirds of the specimens came directly to AMNH; the other two specimens would have been retained in ZMB, and I do not know whether they were seen by Salomonsen.

On 5 June 1931, the Steins were collecting in the mountains between Mayalibit Bay and Fofak Bay, inland from Lam-Lam (Rothschild et al., 1932a: 129, Stein, 1933: 260– 264), 00.05S, 130.44E (Times Atlas).
