Pachycephala pectoralis lauana Mayr Pachycephala pectoralis lauana Mayr, 1932b: 12 (Ongea Levu Island, Lau Archipelago, Fiji Islands). Now Pachycephala vitiensis lauana Mayr, 1932. See Galbraith, 1956: 204, Watling, 2001: 160– 161, Dickinson, 2003: 477, and Boles, 2007: 421. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 252695, 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 (5 Fulanga), and Vuanggava (5 Wangava) islands. Paratypes are: Ongea Levu, AMNH 224022–224024, 252675–252694, 252696–252701, and 252714– 252717; Vulaga, AMNH 252702, 252703; Vuanggava, AMNH 252704–252713 and 252718–252728. 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 lauana a subspecies of P. pectoralis; Dickinson (2003: 477) separated the Fijian group of populations as the species P. vitiensis.
