Ptilotis sonora rogersi Mathews, 1912a: 406 (North-West Australia (Wyndham)).

Now Lichenostomus virescens forresti ( Ingram, 1906) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 375, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 234–235, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 598.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694878 About AMNH , adult male, collected 5 miles west of Trig. station HJ9, Parry Creek, East Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 14 December 1908, by J.P. Rogers (no. 424). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3186) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Even though he gave the type locality and the range of rogersi as ‘‘North- West Australia (Wyndham),’’ Mathews did not actually have a specimen labeled Wyndham (15.28S, 128.06 E, Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 515), all of Rogers’ specimens from this area being labeled Parry Creek (15.36S, 128.17 E, Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512). There are six paratypes in AMNH, all collected by Rogers at the same locality as the holotype: males, AMNH 694879 (Mathews no. 3187), AMNH 694880 (3185), AMNH 694881 (3184), AMNH 694882 (3188); females, AMNH 694883 (3190), AMNH 694884 (3189).
