. See

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 606404
, unsexed adult, collected at
Inkerman
,
19.45S
,
147.29E
(

),
Queensland
,
Australia

17 May 1907
.
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 1709) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. It bears a Mathews Collection label with the above data, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a blank label printed ‘‘
Mus
. Brit.’’ and ‘‘Seebohm Coll.’’, which have been marked out. This label has only the name and ‘‘451’’, the number of this form in
Mathews (1908a)
. The original label is not present. The specimen was undoubtedly collected by Wilfred Stalker, as AMNH 606405 (Mathews no. 1708), which bears Stalker’s field label, was collected at Inkerman on the same date and is a
paratype
. Both were listed as specimens of
Gerygone
‘‘
albigularis
’’ by
Ingram (1908: 468)
in his report on Stalker’s Inkerman collection.
Inkerman Station in
Queensland
was the site of a collection of birds Stalker made for Sir William Ingram in 1907. Collingwood
Ingram (1908: 460)
placed it at ca.
50 mi
southwest (
5
southeast?) of Townsville in
20
°
S
,
147
°
E
and about
10 mi
from the banks of the Burdekin
River
. Stalker’s given name was Wilfred (
Ogilvie-Grant, 1915
: vi), contra
Ingram (1908)
and
Whittell (1954: 680–681)
.
