 Lonchura grandis heurni Hartert 



Nova Guinea [Resultats des Expeditions scientifiques a la Nouvelle 

 Guinee] 15 [Zoologie] (5) : 476, 1932. 



334930. Subadult male. Batavia-bivak (a camp on the Mamberano River, 

 12 miles below the mouth of the Idenburg River), northwestern Dutch 

 New Guinea. Dec. 7, 1920. Collected by W. C. van Heurn. Received 

 from the Zoological Museum & Laboratory, Bogor. 



334931. Adult male. Same data as No. 334930. 



334932. Adult female. Same data as No. 334930. 



334933. Subadult female. Same data as No. 334930. 



Hartert based this name upon a series of 14 adults, males and females, 

 and 8 subadults, males and females. All were taken by van Heurn at the 

 same time and place, from a single flock, and, owing to lack of time, they 

 were not skinned, but mummified. Since no individual was specified by 

 Hartert as the type, all 22 may be considered cotypes. 



It should be noted that No. 334931 bears, upon its original label, in 

 Hartert's own hand, the words "Typus von :/ Lonchura grandis heurni Hart." 

 It may be assumed that the author, merely by oversight, failed to designate 

 this specimen, at his original description, as the type.
