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.
