Mathews
Rhipidura flabellifera subphasiana
Mathews, 1912a: 319
(North-West
Australia
(Derby)).
Now
Rhipidura phasiana
De Vis, 1884
. See
Ford, 1981b
,
Watson and Mayr, 1986: 546
, and
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 479–480
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 650370
, adult male, collected at
Point Torment
,
17.01S
,
123.35E
(
Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512
),
King Sound
,
West Kimberley
,
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
4 April 1911
, by
J.P. Rogers
(no. 1525).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 8672) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description.
All of Rogers’
specimens are labeled
Point Torment
,
King Sound
;
Mathews
gave
Derby
,
17.19S
, 123.38 (
Times Atlas
) as the type locality, and that possibly represented
Rogers’
base, but the more exact locality is on his labels.
Paratypes
are
AMNH 650369
and 650371–650393
;
these correspond to
Mathews’
catalog numbers 8190–8207, 8443, 8611, 8612, 8671, and 8673–8677, except for three numbers that are not matched by specimens in
AMNH
and were probably exchanged by
Mathews. These
three specimens
were from
Point Torment
and would be
paratypes
if discovered:
Mathews
number 8196, female, collected on
2 January 1911
; Mathews number 8206, male, collected on
5 January 1911
;
and
Mathews
number 8611, male, collected on
12 March 1911
.
The
only specimens actually labeled
Derby
in
AMNH
were never in
Mathews
collection and are not
paratypes
.
