Description
Artamus leucorhynchus parvirostris Hartert
Artamus leucorhynchus parvirostris Hartert, 1899a: 424 (Cape York).
Now Artamus leucorynchus leucopygialis Gould, 1842. See Stresemann, 1913a: 292; Hartert, 1920: 455; Mathews, 1923b: 217–224; 1930: 635; Mayr, 1962b: 162; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 561–562; Dickinson, 2003: 464; and Rowley and Russell, 2009b: 305.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 664762, adult male, collected on the Chester River, 34.42S, 143.33E (Parker, 1966: 121–122), Cape York, Queensland, Australia, on 5 July 1898, by one of the Eichhorn brothers for Albert S. Meek (no. 1876). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description or say how many specimens he examined. Later, he (Hartert, 1920: 455) listed Meek’s specimen no. 1876 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. Paralectotypes in AMNH are: Cape York, AMNH 664761 (Meek no. 1929), male, 14 July 1898; AMNH 664763 (1933), AMNH 664764 (1870), AMNH 664765 (1880), AMNH 664766 (1889), four females, 5–14 July 1898. This last specimen is considered a paralectotype although it had been in Mathews’ collection. He probably obtained it from Rothschild and cataloged it as No. 2400 sometime between 1908 and 1910, long after Hartert had named parvirostris. Mathews had a second specimen, also probably obtained from Rothschild, No. 2401, female, collected on 18 July 1898, which did not come to AMNH and was probably exchanged by Mathews.
