Now Neochmia ruficauda clarescens (Hartert, 1899) . See Hartert, 1919a: 142 ; Mayr et al., 1968: 357 ; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 752–753 ; Dickinson, 2003: 732 ; and Payne, 2010: 354 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 721934 , adult male, collected on Cape York Peninsula , north Queensland , Australia , on 14 June 1898 , by collectors for Albert S. Meek (no. 1794). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Hartert apparently had the single specimen; he noted on the Rothschild type label that the specimen was collected by ‘‘ Eichhorn ,’’ one of the Eichhorn brothers who collected with Meek for many years. Parker (1966: 121–122) investigated Meek’s collecting locality on Cape York and found it to be the Chester River , 13.42S , 143.33E .
