Pardalotus rubricatus musgravi Mathews

Pardalotus rubricatus musgravi Mathews, 1916c: 91 (Musgrave Ranges, Central Australia).

Now Pardalotus rubricatus rubricatus Gould, 1838 . See Salomonsen, 1961b: 16–24, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 126–127, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 699146 , unsexed, collected on Ferdinand Creek , Musgrave Range, 27.05S, 132.28E ( USBGN, 1957), South

Australia, Australia, on 23 July 1914, by Samuel A. White (no. 1642). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews only said that the type was from the Musgrave Range and gave no statement concerning the range of the form. The above specimen is the only Musgrave Range specimen that came to AMNH with the Mathews’ Collection, and it was marked ‘‘musgravi Type’’ by Mathews. It had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection. There are no Musgrave Range specimens of this species collected by S.A. White in SAMA (P. Horton, personal commun.).
