Geobasileus chrysorrhous ferdinandi
Mathews
Geobasileus chrysorrhous ferdinandi
Mathews, 1916c: 90
(Glen Ferdinand, Musgrave Ranges, Central
Australia
).
Now
Acanthiza chrysorrhoa normantoni
(Mathews, 1913)
. See
Mayr, 1986b: 438
, and
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 212–213
.
LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 601112
, adult male, collected at
Glen Ferdinand
,
26.19S
,
132.06E
(
USBGN
, 1957b),
Musgrave Ranges
,
South Australia
, on
19 July 1914
, by
S.A. White
(no. 1655).
From
the
Mathews Collection
via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Mathews said only that the type of
ferdinandi
was from Glen Ferdinand. There are two AMNH specimens collected there on
19 July 1914
by White. AMNH 601112 bears, in addition to White’s field label marked ‘‘ferdinandi Type’’ in Mathews’ hand, Rothschild Collection and type labels (the name and reference added in pencil in a hand unknown), as well as a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1922a
: pl. 452, bottom left, opp. p. 464, text p. 466), where the figured bird is said to be the type of
ferdinandi
, thus designating it the
lectotype
. The second specimen, AMNH 601113, adult female, S.A. White (no. 1654), is a
paralectotype
. Mathews did not catalog these birds. There are
four paralectotypes
in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.).
Mayr (1986b: 438)
recognized
A. c. ferdinandi
, but
Schodde and Mason (1999: 212– 213)
included the Musgrave Range and central Australian populations within the range of
A. c.
normantoni
.
