Now Lichenostomus flavescens flavescens (Gould, 1840) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 253–254 , Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191 , and Higgins et al., 2008: 608 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 695539 , adult female, collected at Normanton , 17.40S , 141.05E (Times Atlas), Queensland , Australia , on 9 October 1913 , by Robin Kemp (no. 3288). From the Mathews Collection (no. 18235) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave Kemp as the collector and 9 October 1913 as the date of collection of the holotype . No other specimen of flavescens in the Mathews Collection has those data. The holotype bears, in addition to Kemp’s original label and a Rothschild type label, a Mathews Collection label marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews and with the number 788, which refers to this species in Mathews (1908) . No range was mentioned; accordingly, paratypes would be other Normanton specimens cataloged before the publication of zanda on 29 December 1913 . Only one specimen is definitely a paratype : AMNH 695540 (Mathews no. 18234), female, collected on 8 October 1913 and cataloged on 16 December 1913 , at the same time as the holotype . Three additional specimens were cataloged on 5 January 1914 and it is perhaps possible that they also should be considered paratypes : AMNH 695519 (18398), male, 11 October 1913 ; AMNH 695537 (18396), female?, 11 October 1913 ; AMNH 695538 (18397), female?, 10 October 1913 .
