Ptilotis chrysotis graingeri

(Mount Grainger,
South Australia
).
Now
Lichenostomus plumulus graingeri
(Mathews, 1912)
. See

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 695433
, female, collected on
Mount Grainger
, between
Peterborough
(
5
Petersburg, as on label),
32.58S
,
138.50E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
South Australia
, and
Broken Hill
,
31.57S
,
141.26E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
New South Wales
,
Australia
, on
11 September 1911
, from
Edwin Ashby
(no. 787).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 11671) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘adjoining parts of
New South Wales
and
South Australia
.’’ The
holotype
bears in addition to the original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that this specimen was illustrated in
Mathews (1924
: pl. 539, top fig., opp. p. 537, text p. 538) where it is confirmed as the type of
graingeri.
I did not find other specimens that might be considered
paratypes
of
graingeri
.
