[ Leachena crocea boweri Mathews ]
Leachena crocea boweri Mathews, 1922b: 8 (Fitzroy River, North-west Australia).
Now Epthianura crocea crocea Castelnau and Ramsay, 1877 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 463, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 344–345.
I did not find any specimens of this species from the Fitzroy River in northern Western Australia in the Mathews Collection in AMNH. The form may have been named for a likely collector, T.H. Bowyer-Bower. There are two Bowyer-Bower specimens from northwest Australia that came with the Rothschild Collection, but there is no indication that they had been part of the Mathews Collection or that Mathews had examined them. Sharpe (1906: 317) noted that 192 of Bowyer-Bower’s specimens from northwest Australia had been presented to BMNH by his father ; perhaps there is an indication on one of them as to type status. There may also be specimens in AM .
