Now Petroica boodang boodang (Lesson, 1838) . See Mayr, 1986d: 563 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 385–386 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 607276 , adult male, collected at Parwan , Victoria , Australia , on 25 April 1906 . From the Mathews Collection (no. 1604) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as Victoria , Tasmania , and South Australia . In addition to the original field label, the holotype also bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1920a : pl. 435, middle left fig., opp. p. 82, text p. 83), although it is not there said to be the type. The following specimens are paratypes : Tasmania , AMNH 607270 ( Mathews no. 4579), 607273 (9353) ; Victoria , AMNH 607278 ( Mathews no. 10093), 607285 (5086), 607286 (10095), 607288 (8116), 607289 (8117), 607290 (10094), 607291 (5087), 607293 (8650), 607294 (9073), 607304 (1610), 607305 (1602), 607306 (5085), 607307 (8114), 607308 (6251), 607309 (10554), 607310 (10553), 607312 and 607313 (8118), and 607319 (10341) ; South Australia , AMNH 607320 ( Mathews no. 1601), 607321 (1609), 607344 (1606), 607345 (1607), 607346 (9693), 607347 (9694), and 607348 (9695). The following specimens were collected before the publication of the name, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not consider them paratypes : AMNH 607295 from Ringwood ; AMNH 607299– 607303 from Fern-Tree Gully and Mitcham ; AMNH 607311 from Bayswater , all in Victoria ; and AMNH 607343 from Adelaide , South Australia . Two specimens listed in Mathews’ catalog did not come to AMNH and, if found, are paratypes : number 1608 with no data and number 8115, female, collected at Bayswater on 19 November 1910 . Mathews (1913a: 167) specified the type locality of frontalis as Parwan , the collecting locality of his holotype . Parwan is ca. 2 mi east of Bacchus Marsh, 38.45S , 144.30E (Times Atlas). Mayr (1986d: 563) considered boodang a subspecies of the widespread species Petroica multicolor (Gmelin) ; Schodde and Mason (1999: 388) proposed separating the Australian forms in the separate species, Petroica boodang (Lesson) .
