Cracticus tibicen intermissus
Mathews
Cracticus tibicen intermissus
Mathews, 1912a: 372
(
Victoria
)
.
Now considered an intergrade between
Gymnorhina tibicen terraereginae
and
tyrannia
or undifferentiated from them. See Amadon, 1951: 20–21; 1962b: 169;

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 673014
, adult female, collected at
Bendigo
(as on label),
36.48S
,
144.21E
(Times
Atlas
),
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
30 March 1907
, by Thomas Tregellas. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 5077) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
In
the original description,
Mathews
gave his catalog number of the
holotype
and the range as ‘‘
Victoria, South Australia
.’’
He
apparently did not have any specimens from
South Australia
. I have found only one definite
paratype
:
Bendigo
,
AMNH 673013
(Mathews no. 5076), male,
30 March 1907
, collected by
Tregellas. There
are two additional Mathews specimens that are possible
paratypes
, but I did not find them in his catalog and don’t know when they came into his possession:
AMNH 673016
, female,
Kerang
,
April 1905
, collector
?;
AMNH 673021
, male, Nagambie,
4 March 1908
, collected by
C.F. Cole.
Although this Mathews form was not mentioned specifically by
Schodde and Mason (1999: 445–450)
, the
holotype
appears to come from the zone of intergradation between
Cracticus tibicen terraereginae
and tyrannica
. But see the results of recent mtDNA results obtained by
Hughes et al. (2001)
and
Toon et al. (2003
,
2007
).
