Certhionyx albogularis yorki Mathews

Certhionyx albogularis yorki Mathews, 1912b: 49 (Cape York, Queensland).

Now Conopophila albogularis (Gould, 1843) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 434, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 321–322, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 628.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692396 , adult sex?, collected on Cape York , Queensland, Australia. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9873) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range of yorki as ‘‘North Queensland.’’ The holotype bears, in addi- tion to Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a BMNH label no. 81.11.7.375, marked ‘‘Dupl’’ and ‘‘Ex Coll. F.D. Godman.’’ It was among a group of specimens that Mathews obtained from BMNH and cataloged on 7 December 1911. Some of the specimens from this acquisition were used as types in Mathews (1912a) and others were among the first in ‘‘Additions and Corrections’’ in Mathews (1912b). It is the only Queensland specimen of this form that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
