Cracticus torquatus colei Mathews

Cracticus torquatus colei Mathews, 1912d: 119 (Mallee, Victoria).

Now Cracticus torquatus leucopterus Gould, 1848 . See Amadon, 1951: 6–7; 1962b: 166–167; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 537–539; Dickinson, 2003: 463; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 337– 338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673540, adult male, collected at Underbool, 35.10S, 141.49E (USBGN, 1957), Mallee, Victoria, Australia, on 9 September 1910, by C.F. Cole (no. 658). From the Mathews Collection (no. 14457) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range as Mallee, Victoria. C. t. colei was published on 24 December 1912, and the following specimens were cataloged before that date. I consider them paratypes: Underbool, AMNH 673541, 673543 (Mathews nos. 6263, 6264), females, 13 September 1910, collected by Howe ; AMNH 673542 (14458), female, 9 September 1910, collected by Cole. Daytrap, AMNH 673544, 673545 (15248, 15249), males, 7 September 1912, collected by Tregellas. I did not find AMNH 673546, male, Auburn, 8 September 1906, collected by Cole, in Mathews catalog, but given its early date, it is probably also a paratype .
