Cisticola exilis diminuta Mathews
Cisticola exilis diminuta Mathews, 1922a: 373 (Cape York, N.Q., North Queensland).
Now Cisticola exilis diminutus Mathews, 1922 . See Lynes, 1930: 192–195, 627, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 711–712.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 592990 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Patison Creek , Cape York , Queensland, Australia, on 8 November 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 1910). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews did not designate a type or say how many specimens he had. He did, however, list Cape York, North Queensland, as the range. As in the previous form, Lynes has attached a blank BMNH type label and written on it ‘‘? type of C. exilis diminuta Mathews. B. Austr. IX p. 373 typ loc. C. York. It is his only one from C. York.’’ The ‘‘?’’ has been marked out and ‘‘yes’’ written on the label. This is the only northern Queensland specimen from the Mathews Collection that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection ; it has ‘‘Type of diminuta ’’ on the reverse of the Kemp label in Mathews’ hand. Should there be any question of its status as a holotype, then Lynes (1930: 627) having listed it as the type would serve as lectotypification.
