Calamanthus campestris hartogi Carter View in CoL

Calamanthus campestris hartogi Carter, 1916: 6 View in CoL (Dirk Hartog Island, West Australia).

Now Calamanthus campestris hartogi Carter, 1916 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 429, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 154–157.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 587967 About AMNH , adult female, collected on Dirk Hartog Island , 25.50S, 113.03E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 506), Western Australia, Australia, on 18 May 1916, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, the type locality and deposition were given as ‘‘ Dirk Hartog Island , West Australia. In the Austral Avian Museum, Fairoak, Hants’’ (5 Mathews Collection). There are five specimens of this species from the Mathews Collection and collected by Carter on Dirk Hartog Island in 1916, three in April and May and two on 12 and 13 October. The meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club at which this name was introduced was held 11 October 1916 (published on 24 October). Therefore, the latter two specimens collected on Carter’s second trip to the island ( Carter and Mathews, 1917: 586) were not part of the type series. Of the remaining three, AMNH 587967 About AMNH is marked ‘‘Type’’ and ‘‘hartogi’’ in Mathews’ hand. The description most closely matches this specimen also. The crown is more ‘‘tawny rufous’’ than that of the other specimens, and the soft parts colors of ‘‘Bill purple-brown ; irides reddish yellow; feet and legs dark yellow’’ are closely matched by those recorded on the field label: ‘‘beak purple horn, eyes reddish yellow, feet and legs dark yellow brown’’. I consider this the holotype; it had not previously been included in AMNH type collection.

The two paratypes with their label data are as follows: AMNH 587964 About AMNH , adult male, collected on 24 April 1916, beak blackish purple, eyes reddish yellow, feet and legs brownish purple ; and AMNH 587966 About AMNH , adult male, collected on 22 May 1916, beak purple horn, eyes bright yellow, feet and legs fleshy brown .

Mayr (1986b: 429) considered hartogi a synonym of C. c. dorrie.
