description: <i>Pachycephala pectoralis brunneipectus</i> Mayr <i>Pachycephala pectoralis brunneipectus</i> Mayr, 1932b: 4 (Epi Island). Now <i>Pachycephala caledonica intacta</i> Sharpe, 1900. See Galbraith, 1956: 201, 208, Mayr, 1967: 28–29, Dickinson, 2003: 477, and Boles, 2007: 421. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 212778</b>, adult female, collected on Epi Island, 16.43S, 168.15E (USBGN, 1974), Vanuatu (<i>5</i> New Hebrides), on 5 August 1926, by Jose Correia on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 21813). COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, and gave the range of the subspecies as Mai, Tongariki, Epi, Lopevi, Pauuma, and Ambrym islands in the Epi Group, Vanuatu. The paratypes are: Tongariki, <b>AMNH 212726</b>; Epi, <b>AMNH 212727–212732</b>, <b>212774–212777</b>, <b>2 1 2 7 7 9–2 1 2 7 8 3</b>, <b>213679–213681</b>, <b>215990</b>, <b>216008</b>, <b>224035</b>; Pauuma, <b>AMNH 212733</b>, <b>212734</b>; Ambrym, <b>AMNH 212735</b>, <b>213682</b>; Lopevi, <b>AMNH 212738</b>, <b>212739</b>, <b>213677</b>, <b>213678</b>, <b>213716</b>, <b>213717</b>; and Mai, <b>AMNH 212740–212745</b>. AMNH 212732 and 212777 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936. I did not find AMNH 212729 in the collection. Galbraith (1956: 201) considered <i>brunneipectus</i> a synonym of <i>P. pectoralis chlorura</i>; Mayr (1967: 128–129) and Boles (2007: 421) listed it as a synonym of <i>P. pectoralis intacta</i>; and Dickinson (2003: 477) combined subspecies from the southern Santa Cruz islands to New Caledonia, including <i>intacta</i>, in the species <i>P. caledonica</i>.
