Myzantha flavigula pallida Mathews

Myzantha flavigula pallida Mathews, 1916b: 91 (Tietkens Creek, Central Australia).

Now Manorina flavigula wayensis (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 442, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617–618.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694495 View Materials , female, collected on Tietkens Birthday Creek (5 Tietkens Creek), 25.58S, 132.35E ( USBGN, 1957), Musgrave Range, South Australia, Australia, on 20 July 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1893). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said that the type was from Tietkens Creek , but gave no further information on the type or on the range of pallida ; he did not catalog specimens from this expedition by White. AMNH 694495 View Materials bears White’s original label marked ‘‘pallida Type’’ by Mathews, a Mathews type label, and an AMNH type label filled in by Charles Vaurie, probably when Salomonsen was working on the Meliphagidae at AMNH .

White (1915b: 759) did not say how many specimens he obtained, but there is no specimen of this form in SAMA from Tietkens Birthday Creek (P. Horton, personal commun.), the only locality mentioned by Mathews. I believe that Mathews had a single specimen from that locality.

Salomonsen (1967: 442) recognized pallida; whereas, Schodde and Mason 1999: 269–273) and Higgins et al. (2008: 618) included it within the range of wayensis. There is a photograph of the type locality in White (1915c: pl. 19, opp. p. 183).
