description: <i>Pycnopygius ixoides cinereifrons</i> Salomonsen <i>Pycnopygius ixoides cinereifrons</i> Salomonsen, 1966a: 8 (two miles below junction of Black and Palmer rivers, 100 meters altitude, British Papua (western division), southern New Guinea). Now <i>Pycnopygius ixoides ixoides</i> (Salvadori, 1878). See Salomonsen, 1967: 401, Coates, 1990: 273, Dickinson, 2003: 436, and Higgins et al., 2008: 583–584. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 428278</b>, adult male, collected 2 miles below junction of Black and Palmer rivers, 100 m, 05.45S, 141.45E (PNG, 1984), Western Province, Papua New Guinea, on 13 July 1936, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and G.H.H. Tate on the 1936–1937 Archbold Expedition (no. 4504). COMMENTS: Salomonsen gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and the range as southern New Guinea from the Mimika River eastward to the upper Fly River. Paratypes in AMNH are: <b>AMNH 696678</b>, male, Paramau, Mimika River, 14 September 1910, by C.B. Grant; <b>AMNH 428279–428286</b>, four males and four females, 2–5 miles below junction of Black and Palmer rivers, 80–100 m, May and July 1936. The specimens collected at the junction of the Black and Palmer rivers were originally identified as <i>Pycnopygius ixoides ixoides</i> by Rand (1942a: 363–364). Coates (1990: 273) synonymized <i>cinereifrons</i> with nominate <i>ixoides</i>; Dickinson (2003: 436) recognized it, and Higgins et al. (2008: 583) tentatively recognized it.
