Now Petroica goodenovii ( Vigors and Horsfield, 1827) . See Mayr, 1986d: 365, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 389.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 607710 , adult male, collected at Scrub Paddock , Hollywood, New South Wales, Australia, on 11 April 1909, by A.H. W[heelwright] (no. 14A). From the Mathews Collection (no. 1644) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are: AMNH 607711 (Mathews no. 1656), female, Scrub Paddock, Hollywood, 11 April 1909, by Wheelwright ; AMNH 607713 (6057), male, June 1910, and AMNH 607714 (6058), female, Parramatta, November 1909, by P.

A possible paratype is AMNH 607716 (10939), male juvenile, Dubbo, 30 September 1911, by J.B. Cleland, but not cataloged until 27 February 1912, after the publication of the name on 31 January 1912. The following are not considered paratypes: AMNH 607712 , male, Bundarra, 24 April 1909, by R. Dyott, cataloged 7 November 1912 (no. 14763), and AMNH 607715 , male, Dubbo, August 1907, by Schräder, cataloged 3 July 1913 .

The collecting locality of both the holotype and paratype collected by Wheelwright was noted on the original label as Scrub Paddock, Hollywood. Mathews (1913a: 169), listing this form as Whiteornis goodenovii quoyi , specified the type locality as Narrawa (5 Narawa), New South Wales, 34.25S, 148.05E (USBGN, 1957b), the locality under which the specimens were cataloged by Mathews. Later, Mathews (1942: 54) said that Wheelwright’s specimens came from Narrandera (34.45S, 146.33E; USBGN, 1957b). See also Whittell (1954: 750).
