Now Stipiturus malachurus hartogi Carter, 1916 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 101–103 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 602982 , adult male, collected on Dirk Hartog Island , 25.50S , 113.03E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 506 ), Western Australia , Australia , on 7 May 1916 , by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : The listing of the type in the original description did not distinguish among the Dirk Hartog Island specimens in the Mathews Collection ( 5 ‘‘Austral Avian Museum, Fairoak, Hants’’). AMNH 602982 bears both a Rothschild and a Mathews type label, and Carter’s field label is marked ‘‘Type’’ in Mathews’ hand. It also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label. I found two illustrations of this form: in Carter and Mathews (1917 : pl. 11), where also no type is designated, and in Mathews (1922e : pl. 465, bottom, opp. p. 131, text p. 134), where the male figured is said to be the type of hartogi , collected on 7 May 1916 . This serves to designate the lectotype , as AMNH 602982 is the only male collected on that date that came to AMNH. Mathews did not catalog any specimens after 1914. Paralectotypes are: AMNH 294762, 602983, 602984, and 602986–602989. Specimens collected on Dirk Hartog Island by Carter in late October 1916 are not considered paralectotypes , as the name was proposed at the 11 October 1916 meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club, published on 24 October 1916 . AMNH 294762 was purchased by Leonard C. Sanford from W.F.H. Rosenberg for AMNH and was part of the original series that Carter collected in April and May 1916 . Schodde (1982: 133) did not recognize hartogi .
