Certhionyx rufogularis keatsi Mathews, 1912b: 49 (Northern Territory (West)).

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692456 About AMNH , sex?, collected at Port Keats , 14.05S, 129.35E ( USBGN, 1957), Northern Territory, Australia, in January 1907, from Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3115) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘adjoining parts of North-west Australia and Northern Territory.’’ The holotype bears an original label, a large printed label stamped with Edwin Ashby’s name on the reverse, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The following specimens are paratypes: 5 miles west of Trig. station HJ9, Parry Creek , East Kimberley , AMNH 692434 About AMNH (Mathews no. 3107), AMNH 692435 About AMNH (3108), males, AMNH 692436 About AMNH (3109), AMNH 692437 About AMNH (3110), AMNH 692438 About AMNH (3111), AMNH 692439 About AMNH (3112), females, AMNH 692440 About AMNH (3113), AMNH 692441 About AMNH (3114), sex?, all collected between 3 September 1908 and 2 February 1909 ; Forrest River, East Kimberley , AMNH 692442 About AMNH (10432), AMNH 692443 About AMNH (10433), AMNH 692444 About AMNH (10434), males, AMNH 692445 About AMNH (10430), AMNH 692446 About AMNH (10431), AMNH 692447 About AMNH (10435), females, all collected 1–2 September 1911 ; Port Keats ,

1906, AMNH 692457 (3116), female. AMNH 692458, female, South Alligator River, 4 October 1902, collected by J.T. Tunney, is a possible paratype, but I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when it came into his hands. Other specimens in AMNH were never in Mathews’ collection.
