[ Oreoscopus gutturalis boweri Mathews ]

Oreoscopus gutturalis boweri Mathews, 1916a: 61 (Cairns, Queensland).

Now Oreoscopus gutturalis (De Vis, 1889) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 412, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 161–162.

In the original description of this subspecies, Mathews only said: ‘‘Differs from O. g. gutturalis (De Vis) View in CoL in being darker. Type, Cairns, Queensland’’. There are many Mathews specimens of gutturalis View in CoL from the Cairns area, but none specifically from Cairns. Nothing on any of these specimens indicates that it was Mathews’ intended type. One male, AMNH 601216 from Kuranda, bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922e: pl. 458, opp. p. 40, text p. 40), but there is no indication there that this male is the intended type. AMNH 601233, a female from Bartle Frere, collected 11 June 1900 by Olive, but from the Rothschild Collection and apparently never in the Mathews Collection, is marked on the reverse of the Rothschild label ‘‘Compared with type. G.M.M.’’ It is not clear whether Mathews meant the type of gutturalis De Vis View in CoL or his type of boweri, or whether he made the comparison before or after the publication of boweri. Mathews (1922e: 41) said that his description of the female of Oreoscopus gutturalis View in CoL applies to the ‘‘type specimen, now lost’’. Perhaps he was referring to the type of boweri, as the syntypes of O. g. gutturalis De Vis View in CoL are in QM ( Ingram, 1987: 244).
