Now Phylidonyris novaehollandiae longirostris (Gould, 1846) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 428 , Schodde and Mason, 1999: 311–312 , Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191 , and Higgins et al., 2008: 667–668 . HOLOTYPE OR SYNTYPE ?: AMNH 692127 , female, collected in the Stirling Range, 34.24S , 118.02E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 513 ), Western Australia , Australia , on 17 July 1911 , by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 10618) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews did not designate a type in the original description, only saying that the type was from the Stirling Range ; he cataloged a single specimen and a single specimen came to AMNH . It bears Whitlock’s original label, a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘ Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews ,’’ and a Rothschild type label, filled in by hand unknown . Although Whitlock’s original label is present on this specimen and it is labeled ‘‘ Stirling Ranges,’’ judging from its date of collection, it actually may have been collected near Whitlock’s home at Wilson Inlet ( Whittell, 1954: 765 ). Whitlock (1912: 239) said that he left his home on 1 August 1911 to make his second trip into the Stirling Range. Both of his trips into the Stirling Range ( Whitlock, 1911 , 1912 ) were made for H.L. White, and there may be additional specimens, perhaps syntypes , in the H.L. White Collection in NMV.
