Pachycephala pectoralis neuhausi Stresemann , 1934 OD here

Eine sehr verschiedene Rasse bewohnt die kleine Insel Sinabiet, die ich dem Missionar des Lihir-Archipels P. Neuhaus widme.

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Black-tailed Whistler ssp. Pachycephala pectoralis neuhausi Stresemann, 1934 NCR [JS Pachycephala melanura dahli]
Father Karl Neuhaus (<1885 -1942) was a German priest in charge of the Sacred Heart Mission at Namatanai, New Ireland (1911- 1929). He was the first resident priest on the island of Lihir (1931), where the whistler holotype was taken. He 'disapeard in mid-1942 and his fate remains uncertain: he war probably executed by the occupying Jaüanese forces. His ethnography Beiträge zur Ethnographie der Pala, Mittel Neu Irland was published posthumously (1962).
