HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 720143
, adult male, collected on ‘‘
Marngle Creek
,’’
West Kimberley
,
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
2 June 1911
, by
J.P. Rogers
(no. 1726).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9231) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
and the range of the form as ‘‘Interior North-West
Australia
.’’ The type locality, given by Mathews as ‘‘Mungi,’’ was a locality he often used for specimens collected by Rogers in the area of the Fitzroy River. In fact, all of Rogers’ specimens collected at this time list only ‘‘Fitzroy River’’ as the locality in Mathews’ catalog. The locality on the label is ‘‘Marngle Creek,’’ which is apparently Mangle Creek 5 Manguel Creek,
17.49S
,
123.39E
(USBGN, 1957). With regard to this species, Rogers is quoted by
Mathews (1925: 178)
: ‘‘In Derby this is a resident species…. Many hundreds of these birds watered at a mud spring near my camp at Marngle Creek. At Mungi they were also very common….’’
