Certhionyx rufogularis queenslandicus Mathews

Certhionyx rufogularis queenslandicus Mathews, 1912a: 401 (Queensland (Inkerman)).

Now Conopophila rufogularis (Gould, 1843) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 435, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 323–324, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 628–629.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692459 , adult male, collected at Inkerman , 19.45S, 147.29E ( USBGN, 1957), Queensland, Australia, on 19 April 1907, by Wilfred Stalker. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3106) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Queensland.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Stalker’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 523, top fig., opp. p. 388, text p. 392), where it is confirmed as the type of queenslandicus. The number ‘‘762’’ on the reverse of Stalker’s label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). Ingram (1908: 476) reported on Stalker’s collection and listed this single specimen. No other Queensland specimens in AMNH from the Mathews Collection were collected before the 31 January 1912 publication date of queenslandicus.
