description: <i>Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa</i> Rand <i>Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa</i> Rand, 1941: 14 (Setekwa River, 2000 ft., Netherland [sic] New Guinea). Now <i>Dicaeum geelvinkianum setekwa</i> Rand, 1941. See Salomonsen, 1960c: 27, and Cheke and Mann, 2008b: 383–384. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 698101</b>, adult male, collected at 2000 ft, southern watershed of the Maoke (<i>5</i> Snow) Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia (<i>5</i> Netherlands New Guinea), on 1 September 1910, by Albert S. Meek (no. 4688). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Rand cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. ‘‘ Setekwa River’ ’ does not appear on Meek’s label, but Rothschild and Hartert (1913: 473), in their report on Meek’s 1910 collection, noted that ‘‘ Most of Meek’s collections were made on the Setekwa River, a small tributary of the Oetakwa [<i>5</i> Utakwa] River, and at elevations from 2500 to 3000 ft. ’’ The junction of the Setekwa and Utakwa rivers is at 04.54S, 137.19E (USBGN, 1982). Rand did not list his type series but gave measurements of four males and two females, the same number of specimens listed by Rothchild and Hartert (1913: 511) with Meek’s field numbers. Paratypes, all collected by Meek in 1910, are: Setekwa River, <b>AMNH 698097</b> (Meek’s no. 4201), ‘‘female,’’ but probably immature male, with one red feather in breast, 20 June; Upper Setekwa River, <b>AMNH 698098</b> (4490), adult male, 9 August, <b>AMNH 698099</b> (4450), female, 30 July; Snow Mountains, <b>AMNH 698100</b> (4861), adult male, 20 October, <b>AMNH 698102</b> (4702), adult male, 3 September.
