Last Documented

The last searchable media seems to be a recording from December 2005, the same date that a specimen was collected. In June 2007, during a subsequent expedition to the Foja Mountains of New Guinea, "photographs of a single adult female alive in the hand" were obtained (Beehler and Prawiradilaga 2010), which, if acquired or archived, would then represent the most recent digital voucher.
