Ethelornis levigaster perconfusus Mathews
Ethelornis levigaster perconfusus Mathews, 1920a: 161 (Southern North-west Australia).
Now Gerygone levigaster levigaster Gould, 1843 View in CoL . See Meise, 1931: 362, Mayr, 1986b: 455, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 183–184.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 606938 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Point Torment , 17.01S, 123.35E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), King Sound, Western Australia, Australia, on 23 December 1910, by J.P. Rogers (no. 1017). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews did not designate a type in the original description but said that he had a series from Pt. Torment and Derby. Meise (1931: 362) designated as lectotype the specimen bearing Rogers no 1017. In addition to Rogers’ label and an AMNH type label, the specimen bears a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘Ex Mathews Collection’’, on the reverse of which is the following note by Meise: ‘‘Typus v. Ethelornis levigaster perconfusus Mathews , falls kein Typus fixert is, Nov. Zool. 36, 1931: p. 362’’. The number ‘‘462’’ on the reverse of Rogers’ label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a). There are seven paralectotypes: AMNH 606932 (Mathews no. 4151, Rogers no. 681), Derby, 21 January 1903; AMNH 606936 (8891, 1497), AMNH 606937 (8460, 1350), AMNH 606939 (8158, 1079), AMNH 606940 (8157, 1018), AMNH 606941 (8892, 1496), and AMNH 606942 (8685, 1454), all collected at Point Torment between December 1910 and March 1911 by Rogers.
Mathews (1930: 463) listed Derby as the type locality and this was followed by Mayr (1986b: 455). However, as Point Torment is the place of origin of the lectotype, that becomes the type locality of perconfusus Mathews (ICZN, 1999: 87, Art. 76.2).
