Cracticus nigrogularis inkermani Mathews

Cracticus nigrogularis inkermani Mathews, 1912a: 374 (Inkerman, Queensland).

Now Cracticus nigrogularis nigrogularis (Gould, 1837) . See Amadon, 1951: 8–9; 1962b: 167–168; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 543–544, Dickinson, 2003: 463; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 338– 339.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673405, adult male, collected at Inkerman, 19.45S, 147.29E (USBGN, 1957), Queensland, Australia, on 14 March 1907, by Wilfred Stalker (no. 305). From the Mathews Collection (no. 2584) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range of inkermani as ‘‘ Queensland.’’ The following specimens are considered paratypes: Inkerman, AMNH 673404 (Mathews no. 2586), immature male, 7 March 1907, AMNH 673406 (2585), female, 14 March 1907, both collected by Stalker ; Mackay, AMNH 673411 (6468), sex?, undated, purchased from Gerrard, and cataloged 4 February 1911. The number ‘‘655’’ that occurs on Stalker’s labels refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). Other specimens in AMNH from ‘‘ Queensland’ ’ were never in the Mathews Collection or were collected after the 31 January 1912 publication date of inkermani .

Stalker’s collection at the Inkerman Station was made for Sir William Ingram and reported on by his son, Collingwood Ingram (1908b: 458–481), where the three specimens were listed as Cracticus picatus (p. 472). The collection was purchased by Mathews.
