Ptilotis cratitia halmaturina Mathews View in CoL

Ptilotis cratitia halmaturina Mathews, 1912a: 409 View in CoL (Kangaroo Island).

Now Lichenostomus cratitius cractitius (Gould, 1841) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 245– 246, Christidis and Boles, 2008, 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 605.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695248 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Bell Manor , Kangaroo Island, 35.50S, 137.06E ( USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 25 March 1905, by Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3241) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave ‘‘Kangaroo Island’’ as the range. In addition to Ashby’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype also bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 537, bottom fig., opp. p. 515, text p. 516) where, despite matching data, it is not cited as the type of halmaturina. There is only one paratype in AMNH: AMNH 695246 (Mathews no. 3242), male, Hog Bay, Kangaroo Island, 30 December 1897. Other specimens from Kangaroo Island were collected after publication of the name on 31 January 1912.

See Schodde and Mason (1999: 246) for use of L. c. cratitius for Kangaroo Island specimens.
