Myzantha flavigula wayensis Mathews

Myzantha flavigula wayensis Mathews, 1912a: 418 (West Australia (Lake Way)).

Now Manorina flavigula wayensis Mathews, 1912 . See Salomonsen, 1967: 441, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617– 618.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694455 , female, collected at Lake Way , 26.50S, 120.25E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 509), Western Aus-

tralia, Australia, on 19 July 1909, by F.L. W[hitlock]. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3370) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range as ‘‘Mid Westralia.’’ The type bears, in addition to Whitlock’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1925a: pl. 548, lower fig., opp. p. 51, text p. 53), where it is confirmed as the type of wayensis. Paratypes are three juvenile specimens collected at Lake Way on 18 September 1909: AMNH 694456, 694457, 694458 (Mathews nos. 3894, 3956, 3957). A possible paratype is AMNH 694460, female, collected at Carnarvon on 12 August 1911, but I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog.
