Certhionyx rufogularis keatsi Mathews

Certhionyx rufogularis keatsi Mathews, 1912b: 49 (Northern Territory (West)).

Now Conopophila rufogularis (Gould, 1843) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 435, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 323, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 628–629.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692456 , sex?, collected at Port Keats , 14.05S, 129.35E ( USBGN, 1957), Northern Territory, Australia, in January 1907, from Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3115) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘adjoining parts of North-west Australia and Northern Territory.’’ The holotype bears an original label, a large printed label stamped with Edwin Ashby’s name on the reverse, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The following specimens are paratypes: 5 miles west of Trig. station HJ9, Parry Creek , East Kimberley , AMNH 692434 (Mathews no. 3107), AMNH 692435 (3108), males, AMNH 692436 (3109), AMNH 692437 (3110), AMNH 692438 (3111), AMNH 692439 (3112), females, AMNH 692440 (3113), AMNH 692441 (3114), sex?, all collected between 3 September 1908 and 2 February 1909 ; Forrest River, East Kimberley , AMNH 692442 (10432), AMNH 692443 (10433), AMNH 692444 (10434), males, AMNH 692445 (10430), AMNH 692446 (10431), AMNH 692447 (10435), females, all collected 1–2 September 1911 ; Port Keats ,

1906, AMNH 692457 (3116), female. AMNH 692458, female, South Alligator River, 4 October 1902, collected by J.T. Tunney, is a possible paratype, but I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when it came into his hands. Other specimens in AMNH were never in Mathews’ collection.
