description: <i>Myza celebensis parvirostris</i> Salomonsen <i>Myza celebensis parvirostris</i> Salomonsen, 1966a: 10 (Mt. Tanke Salokko, 2000 meters altitude, Mengkoka Mts., southeastern Celebes). Now <i>Myza celebensis celebensis</i> (Meyer and Wiglesworth, 1894). See Salomonsen, 1967: 422, White and Bruce, 1986: 395–396, and Higgins et al., 2008: 631–632. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 300232</b>, adult male, collected on Mount Tanke Salokko, 2000 m, Mekongga (<i>5</i> Mengkoka) Mountains, 03.35S, 121.15E (USBGN, 1982a), southeastern Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, on 22 December (not July) 1931, by Gerd Heinrich (no. 6133). Collected on the Heinrich Expedition, 1931. COMMENTS: Salomonsen cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description but gave no indication of the size of his type series. Stresemann (1940: 46–47) only said that he had a large series of <i>M. celebensis</i> collected by Heinrich on three different mountain ranges. Heinrich’s fieldwork was jointly supported by AMNH and ZMB and the collection was divided between the two institutions. Because Salomonsen worked on the Meliphagidae in AMNH, he had access to all of the Heinrich specimens now in AMNH, and his specimens from Mount Tanke Salokko are paratypes. I do not know whether Salomonsen visited the collection in ZMB and studied Heinrich’s Tanke Salokko specimens there. Paratypes in AMNH are: Mount Tanke Salokko, <b>AMNH 300229–300231</b>, <b>300233–300244</b>, five males, one immature male, five females, two immature females, and two unsexed, collected between 17 December 1931 and 3 January 1932. Salomonsen misread the XII as VII for the month of collection of the holotype; Stresemann (1932b: 105–106) noted that Heinrich’s stay on Tanke Salokko was in December 1931 and January 1932. Quaisser and Eck (2006: 131) correctly gave the publication date for Meyer and Wiglesworth’s introduction of the name <i>Myza celebensis</i> as 1894, usually cited as 1895. Each of the articles in this journal was numbered and dated separately.
