Chlamydera maculata carteri Mathews in Carter and Mathews, 1920: 499 . Now Chlamydera guttata carteri Mathews, 1920 . Mathews (1920: 76) introduced C. m. nova and designated as the type a specimen collected on ‘‘ North-west Cape , Mid-west Australia’’ on 7 August 1916 . AMNH 679152, female, collected at Hooroomooroo, North West Cape , by Tom Carter, bears an AMNH type label, but the date on this specimen is 6 August 1916 , and it is therefore not the type even though it was collected by Carter on the same collecting trip. Hartert (1929a: 55–57) did not list a type in the Rothschild Collection for nova and no specimen was so cataloged when the Rothschild Collection came to New York . An illustrated account of nova was published by Carter and Mathews (1920: 499) and in an initialed footnote, Mathews offered carteri as a replacement name for C. maculata nova if it and Alphachlamydera cerviniventris nova Mathews, 1915 , were both included in Chlamydera . C. maculata nova and C. maculata carteri share the same type . Frith and Frith (1997) traced the six specimens that Carter (in Carter and Mathews, 1921: 75–79 ) secured and found that there were two collected on 7 August, but one was marked ‘‘ nova type.’’ They designated this specimen, HLW 6591 in MV, as the lectotype of Chlamydera maculata nova (not of Chlamydera guttata carteri , although the two names automatically share the same type). AMNH 679152 remains in the AMNH type collection because it bears a type label, but an added label explains its nontype status. Only 7 August 1916 was mentioned in the original description ; the second specimen in MV collected on that date would be the paralectotype .
