Sericornis parvula herbertoni Mathews

Sericornis parvula herbertoni Mathews, 1912a: 355 (Herberton) .

Now Sericornis frontalis laevigaster Gould, 1847 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 165–171.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601508 , adult female, collected at Herberton , 17.23S, 145.23E ( Storr, 1984: 183), Queensland, Australia, on 28 November 1910. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9539) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; in addition to the original field label, the Mathews Collection label, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, it bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922e: pl. 455, lower right fig., opp. p. 7, text p. 15), where it is confirmed as the type of herbertoni. It was probably collected by A.P. Dodd, who with his father F.P. Dodd (1911) collected mostly insects in the Herberton area in late 1910– early 1911. The holotype is the only Herberton specimen of this form that came to AMNH from the Mathews Collection.
