Oriolus flavocinctus parryi Mathews, 1912b: 52 (Parry’s Creek, North-west Australia).

Now Oriolus flavocinctus flavocinctus (King, 1826) . See Mathews, 1926: 276–282; 1930: 859; Greenway, 1962: 124; Mees, 1964b: 29–30; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 598–600; Dickinson et al., 2004a: 67; and Walther and Jones, 2008: 718.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 671196, adult male, collected at Parry Creek, 15.36S, 128.17E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), 5 mi west of Trig. Stn. HJ 9, East Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 3 September 1908, by J.P. Rogers (no. 54). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3586) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range as ‘‘ North-West Australia.’’ The type bears, in addition to Rogers’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that the specimen served as the model for Mathews (1926: pl. 579, opp. p. 276; text pp. 276–282, under the name Neomimeta flavocinctus), where it is confirmed as the type of parryi. The following specimens are paratypes of parryi: Parry Creek, AMNH 671194, 671195, 671198–671201, four males, two females, 24 August 1908 – 8 February 1909, all collected by J.P. Rogers (Mathews nos. 3582–3585, 3587, 3588). Other Mathews specimens from northwestern Australia were cataloged after the 2 April 1912 publication date of parryi.
