Gerygone culicivora dendyi Mathews

Gerygone culicivora dendyi Mathews, 1912a: 309 (North-West Australia (Mungi)).

Now Gerygone fusca fusca (Gould, 1838) . See Meise, 1931: 358, Ford, 1981a, Mayr, 1986b: 453, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 185–186.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 606914 , adult male, collected at Mungi Rockhole , 18.45S, 123.44E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 511), 8 mi southeast of Mount Alexander, Western Australia, Australia, on 21 June 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 1788). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9104) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. He cataloged the single specimen, which is a migrant individual of the nominate subspecies ( Ford, 1981a; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 186). In addition to Rogers’ field label, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the specimen also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1920a: pl. 386, opp. p. 170, text pp. 171, 174), where it is confirmed as the type of dendyi.
