Zosterops admiralitatis Rothschild and Hartert Zosterops admiralitatis Rothschild and Hartert, 1914d: 108 (Manus). Now Zosterops hypoxanthus admiralitatis Rothschild and Hartert, 1914. See Mees, 1961a: 95, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 396, and van Balen, 2008: 457–458. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700448 , adult male, collected on Manus, Admiralty Islands, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea, on 23 September 1913, by Albert F. Eichhorn for Albert S. Meek (no. 6132). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert cited Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description. In their report on the expedition, Rothschild and Hartert (1914c: 298) listed 12 specimens, giving the Meek numbers for each. Ten of these, including the type, came to AMNH; the other two were perhaps exchanged to another collection by Rothschild prior to that. The nine paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 700447 (Meek no. 6164), 700449 (6146), 700450 (5960), 700451 (5984), 700452 (6057), 700453 (6060), 700454 (6122), 700455 (6133), 700456 (6141). The two missing specimens bear Meek nos. 6159 and 6165. Rothschild and Hartert (1914c: 282) noted that Eichhorn’s party camped close to the German settlement on Manus Island. In the draft annual report of German New Guinea for 1913–1914 (Sack and Clark, 1980: 61), the following appears with reference to Manus: ‘‘An Australian spent the period from September to October near the Imperial Station, engaged in collecting birds and butterflies for the Tring Museum (Rothschild) in London.’’ The Manus Station was opened in October 1911, on Seeadler Harbour (Firth, 1983: 103) and is now known as Lorengau, 02.01S, 147.13E (Times Atlas). Mayr and Diamond (2001: 396) and other authors have included this form in Z. atrifrons . Zosterops fuscicapilla crookshanki Mayr and Rand Zosterops fuscicapilla crookshanki Mayr and Rand, 1935: 16 (Goodenough Island, D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago). Now Zosterops fuscicapilla crookshanki Mayr and Rand, 1935. See Mees, 1961a: 100–101, Coates, 1990: 329–330, and van Balen, 2008: 458. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 222112 , adult female (not male), collected on Goodenough Island, D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 20 No- vember 1928, by Hannibal Hamlin on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 36032). COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. As noted by Mees (1961a: 101), due to a typographical error, the holotype was incorrectly listed as a male. The type series comprised two female specimens. The paratype is AMNH 222113 (Whitney no. 36028), female, collected on the same day. During Hamlin’s stay on Goodenough Island, the expedition ship France was anchored in Mud Bay, 09.25S, 150.20E (PNG, 1984). From 19–23 November 1930, Hamlin and collector, David, camped at 1900 ft, apparently at the same site used by the Eichhorn brothers when they collected for Rothschild four or five years previously. The Eichhorns had not collected this form. Crookshank was Captain of the France . (Hamlin, unpublished journal, Whitney South Sea Expedition, volume T, Department of Ornithology Archives, AMNH).
