[ Ptiloris paradisea queenslandica Mathews]

Mathews (1923a: 42) introduced the name queenslandica, stating that the type was from the Blackall Ranges, Queensland. There are no Mathews specimens of P. paradisea in AMNH from the Blackall Ranges. Mathews (1926: 369–370) cited sight records of P. paradiseus in the Blackall Ranges by Ashby and Mellor, but there is no evidence that he had specimens. No type for queenslandica was listed by Hartert (1929a: 58).
