Pardalotus rubricatus parryi Mathews

Pardalotus rubricatus parryi Mathews, 1912a: 390 (North-West Australia (Parry’s Creek)).

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 699167 , adult male, collected on Parry Creek , 15.36S, 128.17E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), 5 miles west of Trig. Station HJ 9, East Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 30 November 1908, by J.P. Rogers (no. 386). From the Mathews Collection (no. 2903) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range of parryi as ‘‘North- West Australia, Northern Territory.’’ The above specimen bears Rogers’ original field label, a Mathews type label with his catalog number written on it, and a Rothschild type label. The following specimens in AMNH, all collected by J.P. Rogers, are paratypes: Mungi Rock Hole, 8 miles southeast of Mt. Alexander , West Kimberley , June 1911, AMNH 699159 (Mathews no. 9190, Rogers no. 1753), female, AMNH 699160 (9193, 1794), male, AMNH 699161 (9196, 1805), male, AMNH 699162 (9192, 1797), female, AMNH 699163 (9191, 1790), unsexed, AMNH 699164 (9195, 1791), unsexed ; Parry Creek, East Kimberley , November and December 1908 and January 1909, AMNH 699165 (2905, 387), male, AMNH 699166 (2900, 326), male, AMNH 699168 (2904, 431), male, AMNH 699169 (2899, 369), male, AMNH 699170 (2901, 422), male, AMNH 699171 (2902, 328), male, AMNH 699172 (2906, 348), male, AMNH 699173 (2896,403), unsexed, AMNH 699174 (2897, 389), unsexed, AMNH 699175 (2898, 365), unsexed, AMNH 699176 (2908, 385), female, AMNH 699177 (2909, 347), female, AMNH 699178 (2907, 327), female, AMNH 699179 (2910, 538), female .

Mathews (1924: pl. 509, opp. p. 210, text p. 220) figured an adult male collected on 24 November 1908, noting in error that this was the type of parryi. AMNH 699167 , with Mathews no. 2903, is the specimen designated as the holotype in the original description ; the male collected on 24 November bears Mathews no. 2899 and is now AMNH 699169 . Rogers’ label on AMNH 699169 is marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews and a Rothschild type label has been filled in by someone other than Hartert ; it had also been marked ‘‘type’’ in the AMNH catalog. The error was recognized by J.F[arrand] and the specimen returned to the regular collection with part of the type label cut off. It is a paratype. None of the specimens has a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label .
