Ptilotis chrysotis andersoni Mathews, 1912a: 411 (Mount Anderson, North-West Australia).

Now Lichenostomus plumulus planasi ( Campbell, 1910) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 379, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 249–250, Christidis and Boles,

2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 606– 607.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695404 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Mount Anderson , 18.02S, 123.55E ( USBGN, 1957), West Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 12 July 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 1871). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9441) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of the form as ‘‘Interior North-West Australia.’’ The holotype bears in addition to Rogers’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 539, next to top fig., opp. p. 537, text p. 538), where it is confirmed as the type of andersoni. AMNH 695406 (Mathews no. 9440), unsexed, collected on 12 July 1911 on Mount Anderson by Rogers, is a paratype. AMNH 695405, a female mummy, collected on Mount Anderson on 13 July 1911, by Rogers should also be considered a paratype, although Mathews apparently did not catalog it. Mathews also had a series collected at Parry Creek by Rogers, but I do not consider this locality to be in the interior.
