Smicrornis brevirostris bonapartei Mathews

Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis Mathews, 1912a: 307 View in CoL (West Australia).

Now Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis Bonaparte, 1850 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 443, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 176–178.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 606260 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Broomehill (5 Broome Hill on label), 33.51S, 117.38E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, Australia, on 24 May 1908, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1688) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Carter’s label, which has the locality of Broomehill, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews (1913a: 171) later specified the type locality of his name occidentalis as Broomehill, the collecting locality of his holotype. There are three paratypes, all collected by Carter at Broomehill: AMNH 606261 About AMNH (Mathews no. 1689), male, 30 May 1908 ; AMNH 606266 About AMNH (1690), female, 28 June 1908 ; and AMNH 606267 About AMNH (1691), unsexed, 24 May 1908. Although I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog, AMNH 606262 About AMNH , male, 6 November 1910, collected at Broomehill by Carter, is a probable paratype .

Mathews (1912a: 307) considered S. b. occidentalis Bonaparte, 1850 a nomen nudum and immediately thereafter named his own S. b. occidentalis from Western Australia. He ( Mathews, 1922b: 5) apparently later considered Bonaparte’s name valid and in turn proposed a replacement name for occidentalis Mathews, 1912: ‘‘… and in Vol. VIII. [of The Birds of Australia], p. 443 [this is actually species no. 442, p. 131], for Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis Mathews , read S.b. bonapartei new name’’; both names have the same type. Mayr (1986b: 443) listed both names in the synonymy of S. b. stirlingi. Schodde and Mason (1999: 176–178) accept- ed Bonaparte’s name as valid and designated a lectotype from York, Western Australia, to settle the matter.
