Ptilotis sonora decipiens Mathews

Ptilotis sonora decipiens Mathews, 1912a: 406 (North-West Australia (Mungi)).

Now Lichenostomus virescens forresti ( Ingram, 1906) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 375, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 234–235, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 598.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694860 View Materials , adult female, collected at Mungi Rockhole , 18.45S, 123.44E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 511), 8 miles southeast of Mount Alexander, West Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 21 June 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 1793). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9269) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Interior North-West Australia.’’ When this specimen was cataloged at AMNH, an incorrect AMNH catalog number (695860) was put on both the Rogers label and the Rothschild type label. The correct AMNH number of this holotype is AMNH 694860 View Materials . In addition to Rogers’ original label, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. There are five specimens from interior West Kimberley, cataloged by Mathews as ‘‘ Fitzroy River’ ’ and collected by J.P. Rogers, that I consider paratypes: Mungi Rock Hole, males, AMNH 694857 View Materials (Mathews no. 9266), AMNH 694858 View Materials (9270), 17 June 1911 ; females, AMNH 694859 View Materials (9271), 17 June 1911, AMNH 694861 View Materials (9264), 26 June 1911 ; 14 miles northwest of Mount Alexander , male, AMNH 694872 View Materials (9268), 12 June 1911 .
