HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 699195
, adult male, collected on the
Jardine River
,
10.55S
,
142.13E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
11 May 1911
, by
William R. McLennan. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 17290) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews designated as
type
a male collected on
Cape
York
on
11 May 1912
(error for 1911)
; he did not cite his catalog number in the original description, but it is written on the Mathews
type
label of the specimen listed above. In addition, it bears McLennan’s field label, a Rothschild
type
label, and a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1924
: pl. 509, opp. p. 210, text p. 220). It is there confirmed as the
type
of
yorki
, with the date correctly given.
Mathews referred to the type locality as Cape
York
. The only two Mathews specimens of this form from Cape
York
that came to AMNH are the
holotype
and
paratype
AMNH 699196
(Mathews no. 17291), a female collected on the Jardine
River
on the same date by McLennan.
See
Macgillivray (1914: 135)
for an account of this trip.
The following forms of
Pardalotus
have been included in the species
P. striatus
by
Schodde and Mason (1999: 128–131)
, who discussed various treatments. Subspecies are listed in the order they are presented in
Salomonsen (1967: 204–208)
, with nomenclature following Schodde and Mason.
