Now Pyrrholaemus brunneus Gould, 1841 . See Mayr, 1986b: 426 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 160 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 601169 , adult male, collected at Borewell ( 5 Bore Well), East Murchison , Western Australia , Australia , on 19 August 1909 , by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2233) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. He cataloged two additional Western Australian specimens at the same time: paratypes AMNH 601168 (Mathews no. 2235), female? from Kurrawang, collect- ed in May 1907 ; and AMNH 601170 (2234), male from Lake Way , collected 17 August 1909 by Whitlock. There are three additional specimens also collected by Whitlock at Lake Way on 17August 1909 , but apparently not cataloged by Mathews. I consider them probable paratypes : AMNH 601171–601173 . Whitlock (1910) reported on his expedition to the East Murchison, noting on p. 185 that on his route from Nannine to Wiluna, Borewell was 30 mi (southwest) from Wiluna, 26.37S , 120.12E (Times Atlas). On p. 201, he noted this species under Pyrrholaemus ( Sericornis ) brunnea .
