Ptilotis unicolor yarra Mathews, 1912a: 413 (Queensland (Inkerman)).

Now Lichenostomus unicolor (Gould, 1843) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 386, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 238, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 601–602.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695776 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Inkerman, 19.45S, 147.29E ( USBGN, 1957), Queensland, on 18 March GoogleMaps

1907, by Wilfred Stalker (no. 316). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3305) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype, giving the range of the form as ‘‘ Queensland.’’ In addition to Stalker’s label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Apparently, Mathews had the single specimen at that time. This specimen is discussed by Ingram (1908: 477–478).
