Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris cairnsensis Mathews View in CoL

Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris cairnsensis Mathews, 1912a: 397 View in CoL (North Queensland (Cairns)).

Now Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris cairnsensis Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 437, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 325–327, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 583–584.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 693500 About AMNH , adult, collected on the Barron River , Atherton Tableland , Cape York, Queensland, Australia, on 23 June 1910, by the Dodds. From the Mathews Collection (no. 8975) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of cairnsensis as ‘‘ North Queensland.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to the original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 518, lower fig., opp. p. 337, text p. 339), where it is confirmed as the type of cairnsensis. The following specimens are paratypes: Herberton , AMNH 693498 About AMNH (Mathews no. 9560), 29 September 1910 ; Barron River , AMNH 693499 About AMNH (9561), 3 July 1910 ; AMNH 693501 About AMNH (8977), 1 July 1910 ; AMNH 693502 About AMNH (8976), 7 July 1910. All of these specimens were collected by the Dodds on the Barron River , probably near their home at Kuranda, and on an expedition to Herberton ( Dodd, 1911) ; this species does not occur on the coast at Cairns.
