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
.
