description: <i>Myiolestes megarhynchus idenburgi</i> Rand <i>Myiolestes megarhynchus idenburgi</i> Rand, 1940: 9 (7 [sic] km. southwest Bernhard Camp, Idenburg River, altitude 850 meters, Netherland [sic] New Guinea). Now <i>Colluricincla megarhyncha idenburgi</i> (Rand, 1940). See Ford, 1979, Dickinson, 2003: 489, and Boles, 2007: 431. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 305658</b>, adult male, collected 4 km (not 7 km) southwest of Bernhard Camp, 850 m, ca. 03.30S, 139.15E (Archbold et al., 1942, map), Taritatu (<i>5</i> Idenburg) River, Papua Province (<i>5</i> Netherlands New Guinea), Indonesia, on 30 March 1939, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and William B. Richardson on the 1938–1939 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 10370). COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description and specimens from 850 and 1200 m on the mountain slopes just south of the Idenburg River were included in the type series. Rand (1942b: 490), in his record of the birds obtained on this expedition, listed the specimens obtained at these two localities as eight adult males, one immature male, and three adult females. The 11 paratypes are: <b>AMNH 341693–641703</b>. Of these, AMNH 641695 was sent to MZB in May 1957; and AMNH 641698 and 641701 were exchanged to FMNH in the mid-1960s. The 1938–1939 Archbold Expedition was a joint expedition with the Netherlands East Indies government and was known as the Indisch-Amerikaansche Expeditie. Archbold et al. (1942) provided a summary of the expedition with an itinerary and maps of collecting localities.
