Myiagra rubecula ringwoodi
Mathews, 1912a: 321
(
Victoria
).
Now
Myiagra rubecula rubecula
(Latham, 1801)
. See
Watson et al., 1986c: 518

Schodde and Mason, 1999: 509–511
, and
Dickinson, 2003: 503
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 652919
, adult male, collected at
Ringwood
,
37.51S
,
145.13E
(Times Atlas),
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
12 December 1908
, by
Frank E. Howe. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9451) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. The number ‘‘488’’ that appears on the Mathews Collection label refers to the number of this species in
Mathews (1908a)
. It bears both Mathews and Rothschild type labels and, unusually, it is marked ‘‘Type’’ in Mathews’ catalog. I did not find other Ringwood specimens in AMNH and was unable to document when Mathews acquired other Victorian specimens collected before the date of publication of the name.
Mathews (1913a: 187)
specified the type locality of
ringwoodi
as the collecting locality of his
holotype
.
