description: <i>Melanocharis longicauda umbrosa</i> Rand <i>Melanocharis longicauda umbrosa</i> Rand, 1941: 15 (6 kilometers southwest of Bernhard Camp, at 1200 meters, Idenburg River, Netherland [sic] New Guinea). Now <i>Melanocharis longicauda umbrosa</i> Rand, 1941. See Dickinson, 2003: 451, and Gregory, 2008: 335–336. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 305910</b>, adult male, collected 6 km southwest of Bernhard Camp, 1200 m, ca. 03.30S, 139.15E (Archbold et al., 1942: map 1), Taritatu (<i>5</i> Idenburg) River, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 27 February 1939, by Richard Archbold, Austin L. Rand, and W.B. Richardson on the 1938–1939 Archbold Expedition to New Guinea (no. 9715). COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. Four males and one female were measured; however, 10 specimens were cataloged and would have been available to Rand for the description of <i>umbrosa</i>. The nine paratypes, all collected at the same locality, 18–28 February 1939, are: <b>AMNH 343188</b> (Archbold no. 9571), immature male, <b>AMNH 343189</b> (9604), male, <b>AMNH 343190</b> (9713), male, <b>AMNH 343191</b> (9714), male, <b>AMNH 343192</b> (9749), immature male; <b>AMNH 343193</b> (9590), female, <b>AMNH 343194</b> (9716), female, <b>AMNH 343195</b> (9717), female; and <b>AMNH 343196</b> (–), male. AMNH 343189 was sent to MZB in May 1957. Rand (1942b: 511–512), in his report on the entire bird collection from this expedition, listed four adult males, three immature males, and one adult female. I cannot explain the discrepancy; the above information is taken from the specimen labels. Archbold et al. (1942) published a summary of this 1938–1939 expedition; it was a joint expedition with the Netherlands East Indies government and was also known as the Indisch-Amerikaansche Expeditie.
