Treatment

Lalage leucomela gouldi Mathews, 1912a: 329 (Northern Territory).

Now Lalage leucomela rufiventris ( Gray, 1846) View in CoL . See Peters et al., 1960: 199, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 586.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 564047 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Alligator River , Northern Territory, Australia, on 30 September 1903, by John T. Tunney (no. 1618). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9339) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the type was given in the original description, and the cited specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews received this specimen in September 1911 as one of 13 miscellaneous specimens sent by Rothschild, and it was the only specimen of this taxon received by him at that time. When Rothschild acquired the Mathews Collection, the holotype would have again been included in the Rothschild Collection. A second specimen collected by Tunney on the Alligator River in 1903 was never in the Mathews Collection and has no nomenclatural standing.
