Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Iredale described only the male and gave the Mathews catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. This specimen was obtained from WAM, and the number ‘‘6033’’ on Whitlock’s label may be that museum’s number. Also present are Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1922a
: pl. 437, right fig., opp. p. 306, text p. 307), where the figured male is confirmed as the type of
mathewsi
.
When the name
rufescens
Vigors and Horsfield
was found to be based on a misidentification (see below under
Cincloramphus mathewsi vigorsi
), Iredale’s name was the next available name for the species.
Schodde and Mason (1999: 706)
, following Wolters, placed
C. mathewsi
in the subgenus
Maclennania
.
Del
Hoyo et al. (2006: 580)
suggested that because of the striking morphological differences
mathewsi
might be better placed in a separate genus.
