Neostrepera versicolor centralia Mathews

Neostrepera versicolor centralia Mathews, 1916b: 92 (Everard Ranges, Central Australia).

Now Strepera versicolor plumbea Gould, 1846 . See Amadon, 1951: 29; 1962b: 171; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 557–560; Dickinson, 2003: 464; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 241–242.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673739 , adult male, collected in the Everard Ranges , 27.05S, 132.28E ( USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 14 August 1914, by S.A. White. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews had only one specimen from the Everard Range when he named centralia. In addition to White’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, this specimen bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1923b: pl. 490, opp. p. 423; text p. 425), where he confirmed it as the type of centralia.
