description: <i>Pachycephala pectoralis lauana</i> Mayr <i>Pachycephala pectoralis lauana</i> Mayr, 1932b: 12 (Ongea Levu Island, Lau Archipelago, Fiji Islands). Now <i>Pachycephala vitiensis lauana</i> Mayr, 1932. See Galbraith, 1956: 204, Watling, 2001: 160– 161, Dickinson, 2003: 477, and Boles, 2007: 421. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 252695</b>, adult male, collected on Ongea Levu Island, 19.08S, 178.24W (USBGN, 1974), Lau Archipelago, Fiji, on 28 July 1924, by Jose Correia on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 13201). COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of the subspecies as the southern Lau Archipelago: Ongea Levu, Vulaga (<i>5</i> Fulanga), and Vuanggava (<i>5</i> Wangava) islands. Paratypes are: Ongea Levu, <b>AMNH 224022–224024</b>, <b>252675–252694</b>, <b>252696–252701</b>, and <b>252714– 252717</b>; Vulaga, <b>AMNH 252702</b>, <b>252703</b>; Vuanggava, <b>AMNH 252704–252713</b> and <b>252718–252728</b>. Of these, AMNH 252677 and 252680 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936; I did not find AMNH 252685, 252697, and 252714 in the collection, and they may have been exchanged to other institutions without the catalog having been marked. Galbraith (1956: 204), Watling (2001: 160– 161), and Boles (2007: 421) considered <i>lauana</i> a subspecies of <i>P. pectoralis</i>; Dickinson (2003: 477) separated the Fijian group of populations as the species <i>P. vitiensis</i>.
