Now Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis Bonaparte, 1850 . See Mayr, 1986b: 443 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 176–178 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 606242 , unsexed, collected at Tailem Bend , 35.17S , 139.27E (Times Atlas), South Australia , Australia , on 31 May 1910 , by J.B. Cleland (no. 121). From the Mathews Collection (no. 1698) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Cleland’s label, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Two paratypes are: AMNH 606243 (Mathews no. 1694), unsexed, Tailem Bend, 31 May 1910 ; and AMNH 606244 (8936), male, Murray Flats, 30 May 1911 . Mayr (1986b: 443) considered viridescens a synonym of S. b. brevirostris ; Schodde and Mason (1999: 176–178) considered S. b. occidentalis Bonaparte, 1850 a valid name, designating a lectotype from York, Western Australia , and showed viridescens as included within the range of occidentalis Bonaparte. Mathews (1912a: 307) had considered occidentalis Bonaparte a nomen nudum, and at the same time named Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis Mathews, 1912 from Broomehill (see below).
