Quoyornis georgianus warreni Mathews

Quoyornis georgianus warreni Mathews, 1916a: 59 (Warren River, West Australia).

Now Eopsaltria georgiana (Quoy and Gaimard, 1830) . See Mayr, 1986d: 573, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 367.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 659690 , adult female, collected on the Warren River , 34.36S, 115.50E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 514), Western Australia, Australia, on 13 February 1910, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5133) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said only that the type was from the Warren River. There are five such specimens in AMNH, all collected by Tom Carter in February 1910. AMNH 659690 bears a Mathews Collection label marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews and a green Mathews type label with his catalog number written on both, although he did not give it in the original description. It is the specimen that Mathews intended for the type, and I hereby designate AMNH 659690 the lectotype of Quoyornis georgianus warreni in order to validate his intent. The number ‘‘686’’ that appears on the Mathews label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a). AMNH 659689 (Mathews no. 5134), adult female, collected on 17 February 1910, is a paralectotype. AMNH 659686, 659687, and 659688, all adult males, collected on 18, 17, and 16 February 1910, respectively, are probable paralectotypes, but I did not find them cataloged by Mathews.
