[ Sericornis maculatus rymilli S.A. White]

Sericornis maculatus rymilli S.A. White, 1916: 14 (Wedge Island).

Now Sericornis frontalis mellori Mathews, 1912 . See Ford, 1970: 169, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 165–171.

In the original description, White noted that the type, a male collected on 6 January 1916, was in the Weetunga Collection. Weetunga was S.A. White’s property at the Reedbeds (frequently spelled ‘‘Wetunga’’ by White), and his collection is now known as the S.A. White Collection in SAMA. The holotype and two paratypes are in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.). AMNH 602345, male, collected on 6 January 1916, on Wedge Island by White and marked ‘‘Co-type’’ is a paratype in today’s parlance. White’s original label is no longer present.
