Now Chlamydera guttata guttata Gould, 1862 . See Mathews, 1926: 332 ; Hartert, 1929a: 57 ; Mayr and Jennings, 1952: 8–10 ; Mayr, 1962c: 180 ; Gilliard, 1969: 361–363 ; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 632–633 ; and Frith and Frith, 2004: 417– 418 ; 2009a: 403 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 679148 , unsexed, collected in the Macdonnell Ranges (spelled McDonald Ranges on the original label), 23.45S , 133.20E ( USBGN , 1957), Northern Territory , Australia , undated, from the Edwin Ashby Collection (no. 280). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3657) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews apparently had the single specimen; it bears Ashby’s label, a Mathews Collection label marked ‘‘Type’’ with his catalog number 3657 (which was not otherwise mentioned), and a Rothschild type label. Mathews noted in the description that it was darker and had a much smaller bill than subguttata ; Hartert (1929a: 57) dismissed it as ‘‘Bad specimen, bill half decayed, therefore appearing small.’’ A female obtained by S.A. White at Jay Water Hole in the Macdonnell Ranges on 3 September 1913 was not received by Mathews prior to his description of macdonaldi . It is now AMNH 679149 and bears a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label. It is the second female described by Mathews (1926 : pl. 585, top fig., opp. p. 324; text p. 324) and the ‘‘Figured’’ label is so annotated by Hartert. It has no nomenclatural standing.
