Cracticus nigrogularis kalgoorli Mathews

Cracticus nigrogularis kalgoorli Mathews, 1912a: 374 (Kalgoorlie, West Australia).

Now Cracticus nigrogularis picatus Gould, 1848 . See Amadon, 1951: 9–10; 1962b 167; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 543–544; Dickinson, 2003: 463; Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 274–277; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 338–339.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673412 , adult male, collected at Kurrawang , 30.49S, 121.21E ( USBGN, 1957), west of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, Australia, on 30 September 1905, by G.C. Shortridge. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3840) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ West Australia.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Shortridge’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a Mathews ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1923b; pl. 485, opp. p. 374, text pp. 375–376), where it is confirmed as the type of kalgoorli. The following specimens are considered paratypes: Callion, AMNH 673413 (Mathews no. 2580), male, undated, from the Edwin Ashby Collection ; East Murchison , AMNH 673414 , 673416 (3909, 3910), females, collected 5–28 October 1909, by F.L. Whitlock .
