Myzantha flavigula clelandi Mathews

Myzantha flavigula clelandi Mathews, 1912a: 418 (Broome Hill, South-West Australia).

Now considered to be from a zone of intergradation between Manorina flavigula wayensis View in CoL and M. f. obscura View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 441, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617–618.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694521 About AMNH , adult female, collected at Broomehill , 33.51S, 117.38E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, Australia, on 18 September 1906, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3363) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range as ‘‘ South-West Australia.’’ The holotype bears Carter’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Paratypes are: Broomehill, AMNH 694516 About AMNH (Mathews no. 3362), male, 28 October 1906 ; AMNH 694522 About AMNH (3364), female, 1 August 1908 ; AMNH 694524 About AMNH (3365), immature, 27 December 1906. The following were collected before the 31 January 1912 publication date of clelandi, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when he acquired them: Broomehill, AMNH 694517 About AMNH , male, 19 June 1910, AMNH 694518 About AMNH , male, 4 July 1910, AMNH 694519 About AMNH , male, 11 February 1911 ; Cranbrook , AMNH 694531 About AMNH , female, 17 March 1910. Other specimens were either never in Mathews’ Collection or were cataloged later .

Salomonsen (1967: 441) recognized clelandi, Schodde and Mason (1999: 271) considered it to come from a zone of intergradation, and Higgins et al. (2008: 618) treated it as a synonym of M. f. obscura .
