Edward C. Dickinson, Michael Lee, Alice Cibois, Patrick Boussès, Jérôme Fuchs. Clarifying the nomenclature of Pomarea species (Monarchidae) from the Society Islands. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists’ Club, 139(1):65-74 (2019). https://doi.org/10.25226/bboc.v139i1.2019.a5

Abstract:

We re-examine evidence from the voyage of the corvette La Coquille in respect of the Pomarea monarch flycatchers from Tahiti and Maupiti, and conclude that Pomarea maupitiensisGarnot, 1829, should be recognised as a distinct but extinct species for which we designate a lectotype, necessarily represented by the image in a colour plate.

IOC Version 9.2 Taxonomic Updates [Maupiti Monarch]

Formerly assigned the scientific name P. pomarea which is now treated as as junior synonym of P. nigra as the all black specimen in the originally composite type series of upon which P. pomarea was based can be attributed to Tahiti, not Maupiti. P. maupitiensis is based on the pied male of the original composite series which was collected on Maupiti and which is designated as the lectotype for that sexually dichromic species. Dickinson et al 2019.
 
Garnot 1829 or Lesson & Garnot 1828?
The work is by Lesson & Garnot and the title page bears the date 1828: https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/38661297

But this name is attributed to Garnot alone: https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/38661530 ; and the page it appeared on was in livraison 13, dated Nov 21, 1829, fide Zimmer 1926 (citing work published by Sherborn & Woodward 1901, and Mathews 1913): https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/36194835
The plate was published earlier (livr. 7, June 21, 1828, fide Zimmer), but the only name that appeared on it was Muscicapa pomarea: https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/38768556

Thus Garnot 1829 seems correct, at first sight.
