Treatment

Caloptilotis macleayana johnstoni Mathews, 1916a: 62 (Cairns, Queensland).

Now Xanthotis macleayanus (Ramsay, 1875) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 390, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 226, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 689.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 694978 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Cairns , 16.51S, 145.43E (Times Atlas), Queensland, Australia, in October 1908, by P. Schraeder. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3174) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews only said that the type was from Cairns , Queensland. AMNH 694978 About AMNH bears no original label, but a Mathews Collection label on it is marked ‘‘ Type’ ’ and ‘‘johnstoni’’ by Mathews. Mathews’ catalog number ‘‘3174’’ appears on this label but was not mentioned in the description. This specimen also bears a Rothschild type label. Because there are three other specimens from the same locality, the original description is ambiguous with regard to their type status. Mathews’ labeling of this specimen as the type of johnstoni shows that it was his intent to treat it as the type, and I hereby designate AMNH 695978 About AMNH the lectotype of Caloptilotis macleayana johnstoni . The number ‘‘771’’ that appears on Mathews’ label refers to this species in Mathews (1908). The paralectotypes in AMNH, all collected at Cairns by Schraeder in 1908, are: AMNH 694979 About AMNH (Mathews no. 3175), male, July ; AMNH 694980 About AMNH (3177), female, July ; AMNH 694981 About AMNH (3176), female, August .
