Colluricincla harmonica oblita
Mathews
Colluricincla harmonica oblita
Mathews, 1912a: 369
(
Queensland
(Inkerman)).
Now
Colluricincla harmonica harmonica
(Latham, 1801)
.
See
Mayr, 1967: 43

Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462

Boles, 2007: 432–433

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 656654
, adult male, collected near
Mt. Abbot
,
20.08S
,
147.40E
(Times Atlas),
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
21 October 1907
, by
Wilfred Stalker
(no. 369).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 2493), via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description, but carelessly gave the collecting locality as Inkerman. Stalker’s collection, mostly from the vicinity of Inkerman Station (
19.45S
,
147.29E
, USBGN, 1957), was made for Sir William Ingram and reported on by his son Collingwood
Ingram (1908a)
, who noted that Stalker also collected on mounts Elliot and Abbot. The above specimen is clearly labeled Mount Abbot, and so listed by
Ingram (1908a: 472)
. It bears Stalker’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Stalker collected the single specimen.
Mathews gave the range of
oblita
as south
Queensland
, contrary to the site of collection of its
holotype
in northeast
Queensland
. Specimens collected by Lumholtz at Gracemere and Mackay in central east
Queensland
in 1881 and 1882, were not cataloged by Mathews until
2 November 1912
, after the publication of
oblita
.
