Treatment

Meliornis nigra dulciei Mathews, 1911a: 96 (Albany, West Australia).

Now Phylidonyris niger gouldii (Schlegel, 1872) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 429, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 313–314, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 668– 669.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692230 About AMNH , female, collected at Albany , 35.02S, 117.53E ( USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 25 February 1905, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3346) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave ‘‘Albany’’ as the range. AMNH 692229, male, collected at Albany on 3 February 1910, by Carter, is a possible paratype, but I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog.
