Alisteranus cinctus maclennani
Mathews
Alisteranus cinctus maclennani
Mathews, 1918: 159
(Watson
River
, North
Queensland
).
Now
Poephila cincta atropygialis
Diggles, 1876
. See
Mayr et al., 1968: 360–361
;

;

LECTOTYPE
:
AMNH 721654
, adult male, collected on the
Watson
River
,
13.20S
,
141.47E
(
USBGN
, 1957), on
18 June 1914
, by
William R. Maclennan. From
the
Mathews Collection
via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said that the type of
maclennani
was a male from the Watson
River
, collected on
18 June 1914
by Maclennan. This did not serve to differentiate between two male specimens collected there on the same day. In addition to Maclennan’s field label, AMNH 721654 bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it served as the model for
Mathews (1926: 247
, pl. 574, lower fig., opp. p. 246), where it is stated that the figured male is the type of
maclennani
, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. A second male with a description (
Mathews, 1926: 247
) is said to be the type of
nigrotecta
(see above), but is not figured.
Mathews (1926: 249)
noted that the upper figured bird in plate 574 is nominate
cinctus
from
New South Wales
.
Paralectotypes
of
maclennani
are:
AMNH 721655
,
18 June 1914
, and
AMNH 721656
,
7 June 1914
, males, Watson
River
, collected by Maclennan. The lecotype and two
paralectotype
of
maclennani
were apparently never cataloged by Mathews. An account of Maclennan’s stay on the Watson
River
is included in
Macgillivray (1917
–1918: 77–78).
