Gerygone albigularis (sic) rogersi Mathews

Gerygone albigularis (sic) rogersi Mathews, 1911f: 23 (Derby, North-West Australia).

Now Gerygone olivacea rogersi Mathews, 1911 . See Meise, 1931: 325, Mayr, 1986b: 447, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 192–193.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 606449 , adult female, collected at Derby , 17.18S, 123.38E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 506), Western Australia, Australia, on 6 December 1910, by J.P. Rogers (no. 982). From the Mathews Collection (no. 6359) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Rogers’ label, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The only locality given for this form was Derby. According to Mathews’ catalog, this female holotype was paired with a male, collected on the same day, AMNH 606442 (Mathews no. 6358), a paratype. There are six additional Rogers specimens, AMNH 606443–606448 (Mathews nos. 8860–8865), collected 5–8 May 1911 and cataloged by Mathews on 24 June 1911. It is perhaps possible that they reached Mathews before the 17 June 1911 publication date of the name and are paratypes.
