COMMENTS
:
White (1915b: 754)
apparently collected a single specimen at this locality: ‘‘
Eyramytis
, sp (?). A bird of this genus was met with near Indulkanna [sic] Springs, which was taken at the time for
E. goyderi
…’’. White’s label has
goyderi
written in pencil and then marked out. Mathews has marked White’s label as ‘‘Type of D. indulkanna’’. In addition to this label, the
holotype
bears a Rothschild type label and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1923a
: pl. 468, top right-hand fig., opp. p. 183, text p. 184), and is there confirmed as the type of
indulkanna
.
As pointed out by
Parker (1972: 159)
, the Rothschild label incorrectly gives the locality as ‘‘Musgrave Ranges’’.
White (1915b: 710)
said of his collecting locality: ‘‘Leaving Wantapella Swamp and travelling in a north-westerly direction the Indulkana Range soon showed up …. We passed right under Mount Chandler and along the northern side of the range, going into camp just outside the gorge in which Indulkana Springs are situated …. Just after reaching this range a new grass wren (
Diaphorillas
, sp.) was met with …’’.
Mathews did not catalog
White’s 1914
collection.
