Poecilodryas cinereiceps Hartert

Poecilodryas cinereiceps Hartert, 1905a: 231 (island near Hampton Harbour).

Now Peneoenanthe pulverulenta cinereiceps (Hartert, 1905) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 356– 357.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 659722 , adult male, collected on an island near Hampton Harbour , Western Australia, Australia, on 13 July 1901, by J.T. Tunney (no. R.193). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert cited Tunney’s unique field number in the original description and listed an additional six specimens. Paratypes in AMNH are: Derby, AMNH 659717 , male, 27 March 1901, and AMNH 659718 , male, 19 March 1901, both collected by J.P. Rogers for Robert Hall, AMNH 659719 , ‘‘‘male’ but probably female’’, 9 January 1902, by Tunney (no. R.373), and AMNH 659720 , female, 19 March 1901, collected by J.P. Rogers for Robert Hall ; and Northwest Cape, AMNH 659721 , female, 23 February 1902, by T. Carter. Tunney’s specimen number R.192, male, from the island near Hampton Harbour, 13 July 1901, listed by Hartert, is also a paratype but did not come to AMNH. Earlier, Hall (1902: 95–96) reported on Rogers’ collection and listed the above three Rogers specimens .

Storr (1966: 60) thought the ‘‘island near Hampton Harbour’’ was ‘‘probably one of the Intercourse Islands, Dampier Archipelago, at ca. 20 ° 40 9, 116 ° 40 9 ’’.
