, adult male, collected at
Mungi Rockhole

Mount Alexander
,
West Kimberley
,
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on

, by

From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9092) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. This
holotype
, like the previous one, bears a Mathews type label but no Rothschild type label, nor was it cataloged at AMNH as a type. An AMNH type label has been added. The problem has to do with the fact that Mathews cataloged all
11 specimens
of this form as coming from the Fitzroy
River
and has put this locality on his collection label of the type even though Rogers’ original label attached to that bird clearly gives the locality as ‘‘Mungi Rock hole,
8 miles
S.E. of Mount Alexander, West Kimberly (sic), NWA’’. All of Rogers’ specimens of this form collected in mid-June and mid-July 1911 were from the Fitzroy
River
area, with the June birds labeled ‘‘Mungi Rock-hole’’ and July birds ‘‘
14 mi
w of Mt. Anderson’’, and all were found in Mathews’ catalog (nos. 9087–9096 and 9448). The entry for the
holotype
opposite 9092 has the correct sex and Rogers’ label is marked ‘‘Type of mungi’’ in what appears to be Mathews’ hand. The
10 paratypes
are: AMNH 602228, 602229, and 602231–602238.
