Now considered an intergrade between M. g. gularis and M. g. laetior . See Salomonsen, 1967: 398 , Schodde and Mason, 1999: 276– 277 , Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191 , and Higgins et al., 2008: 672–673 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 691532 , adult male, collected at Normanton , 17.40S , 141.05E (Times Atlas), Queensland , Australia , on 31 January 1914 , by Robin Kemp (no. 3873). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Salomonsen cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Northwestern Queensland , south of Gulf of Carpentaria.’’ The following specimens are paratypes : Leichhardt River , 3 July 1910 , AMNH 691529 , male ; Normanton , collected by Kemp in 1913 and 1914, AMNH 691530 , 691531 , 691533–691542 , five males , four females , two sex?, one juvenile . Salomonsen (1966a: 7) doubtfully included specimens from the Cooktown and Cairns areas ; therefore they are excluded from the type series (ICZN, 1999: 76, Art. 72.4.1). I did not find 691542, juv., in the collection.
