COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. In addition to Rogers’ label, the
holotype
bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. There are
two paratypes
, both collected by Rogers on
Cape
York
: AMNH 650583 (Mathews no. 9808), female,
3 September 1911
, and AMNH 650584 (9807), sex?,
5 September 1911
. Other
Cape
York
specimens in AMNH either had never been in the Mathews Collection or were collected after the publication of the name. All three of these migrants to
Cape
York
have the whiter belly and more whitish tail tips of
R. r. intermedia
