Cracticus torquatus colei Mathews

Cracticus torquatus colei Mathews, 1912d: 119 (Mallee, Victoria).

Now Cracticus torquatus leucopterus Gould, 1848 . See Amadon, 1951: 6–7; 1962b: 166–167; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 537–539; Dickinson, 2003: 463; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 337– 338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673540 , adult male, collected at Underbool , 35.10S, 141.49E ( USBGN, 1957), Mallee, Victoria, Australia, on 9 September 1910, by C.F. Cole (no. 658). From the Mathews Collection (no. 14457) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range as Mallee , Victoria. C. t. colei was published on 24 December 1912, and the following specimens were cataloged before that date. I consider them paratypes: Underbool , AMNH 673541 , 673543 (Mathews nos. 6263, 6264), females, 13 September 1910, collected by Howe ; AMNH 673542 (14458), female, 9 September 1910, collected by Cole. Daytrap, AMNH 673544 , 673545 (15248, 15249), males, 7 September 1912, collected by Tregellas. I did not find AMNH 673546 , male, Auburn, 8 September 1906, collected by Cole, in Mathews catalog, but given its early date, it is probably also a paratype .
