Mathews
Sericornis brunnea pallescens
Mathews, 1912a: 353
(West
Australia
(Bore Well)).
Now
Pyrrholaemus brunneus
Gould, 1841

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
.
