Australia
, on
9 September 1908
, by
John P. Rogers
(no. 82).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 2679) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews did not designate a type or say how many specimens he examined, nor did he add information later (
Mathews, 1920: 235–244
). AMNH 659143 bears a Mathews type label with ‘‘
Pachycephala rufiventris colletti
’’ written on it by Mathews. In order to confirm Mathews’ intent, I hereby designate AMNH 659143 the
lectotype
of
P. rufiventris colletti
. In addition, the specimen bears a Mathews Collection label and a J.P. Rogers field label.
Mathews cataloged
28 specimens
(under the name
P. falcata
) from Parry Creek and all 28 came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 659135–659142
and
659144–659162
(Mathews numbers 2666–2678, 2680–2693).
