Ptilotis keartlandi alexandrensis
Mathews, 1912a: 409
(
Northern Territory
(Alexandra)).
Now
Lichenostomus keartlandi
(North, 1895)
. See

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 695296
, male, collected at
Alexandria
(
5
Alexandra),
19.00S
,
136.42E
(Times Atlas),
Northern Territory
,
Australia
, in
July
[1905], by Wilfred Stalker. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 3247) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of the form as ‘‘Alexandra.’’ In addition to Stalker’s original label, the
holotype
bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. In this case, the correct Mathews catalog number is written on both (see previous entry). Mathews cataloged
four specimens
of this form from Alexandria, but
Ingram (1907
,
1909
) listed only three collected by Stalker. These
three specimens
are in AMNH, and the two additional to the
holotype
are
paratypes
:
AMNH 695295
(Mathews no. 3254), male,
May 1905
;
AMNH 695297
(3252), unsexed,
July 1905
. The specimen Mathews cataloged at 3253 was a female collected at Alexandria in 1905, but it did not come to AMNH.
