Now Coracina tenuirostris tenuirostris (Jardine, 1831) . See Peters et al., 1960: 186 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 576 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 562693 , adult male, collected at Cairns , 16°51′S , 145°43′E (Times Atlas), Queensland , Australia , in November 1908 , by Schrader. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1949) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : The Mathews catalog number of the type was cited in the original description. This specimen bears a Mathews Collection label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The number ‘‘509’’ that appears on the Mathews Collection label refers to the number of the species in Mathews’ (1908) Handlist. The type locality of this taxon is in an area considered by Schodde and Mason (1999: 576) to correspond to a step in a cline of decreasing size from south to north in eastern Australia , and they postulate a possible zone of intergradation.
