COMMENTS
: Mathews did not designate a
type
in the original description, nor are there specimens from Kalgoorlie in AMNH. Mathews received the above
two specimens
from BMNH. They were part of a collection made by G.C. Shortridge for W.E. Balston, who presented them to BMNH.
Ogilvie-Grant (1909b: 677)
, under
Sericornis brunnea
, reported that Shortridge collected males and females, ‘‘a-f’’, of this species at Crookerdine Lake,
17–25 July 1905
. These letters do not appear on the labels, with the reverse of both being marked ‘‘Dupl’’, nor were they given BMNH numbers. These specimens had not previously been recognized as
types
.
