Pardalotus melanocephalus sedani
Mathews
Pardalotus melanocephalus sedani
Mathews, 1913c: 77
(Cloncurry
River
,
Queensland
).
Now
Pardalotus striatus uropygialis
Gould, 1840
.
See
Salomonsen, 1961c: 28
, and
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 128–131
.
SYNTYPES
:
AMNH 699088
, male, and
AMNH 699089
, female, collected at Sedan,
20.02S
,
141.07E
(
Storr, 1984: 188
), Cloncurry River,
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
4 March 1910
. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: When Mathews named this form, he said that the
type
, from the Cloncurry
River
, was collected on
4 March 1910
. The original labels also bear the locality ‘‘Sedan’’ but give no indication of the collector. Apparently, however, they were collected by W.R. McLennan for W.D.K.
Macgillivray (1914: 132)
, who recorded that McLennan had his base camp at ‘‘Sedan Dip, about
10 miles
north of Byromine Station and about
80 miles
from the Cloncurry township’’ during the early part of 1910.
I did not find these specimens listed in Mathews catalog. Even though
Salomonsen (1961c: 28)
said that he had examined the type and cotype of
sedani
, neither specimen had been included with the type specimens at AMNH; moreover, because both specimens carry the same date, they must be considered
syntypes
. As
Salomonsen (1961c: 28)
noted, they have the traits of
uropygialis
.
