Cracticus torquatus olindus Mathews, 1912a: 374 (Victoria) .

Now Cracticus torquatus torquatus Latham, 1801 View in CoL . See Amadon, 1951: 5–6; 1962b: 167; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 537–539; Dickinson, 2003: 463; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 337–338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673512 View Materials , adult sex?, collected at Olinda , 37.51S, 145.22E ( USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 6 May 1908, by T.H. Tregellas (no. 252). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5066) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ The following specimens are paratypes: Frankston , AMNH 673510 View Materials , 673511 View Materials (share Mathews no. 4960), female, immature female, collected on 14 March 1908, collected by L.G. Chandler ; Olinda, AMNH 673514 View Materials (5067), sex?, undated, collected by Tregellas. AMNH 673518 View Materials , 673533 View Materials , and 673535 are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog. Other specimens in AMNH from south Victoria were either collected or cataloged after the description was published on 31 January 1912 or were never in Mathews’ collection .

The holotype bears, in addition to the original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1923b: pl. 486, top, opp. p. 384; text p. 386), where it is confirmed as the type of olindus, but with the date incorrectly cited as 9 May 1908.
