Description

Petroica rodinogaster inexpectata Mathews

Petroica rodinogaster inexpectata Mathews, 1912a: 304 (Victoria).

Now Petroica rodinogaster inexpectata Mathews, 1912. See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 382–383.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 607595, adult male, collected in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, on 16 July 1886, by Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1633) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; it bears, in addition to Ashby’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a yellow ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1920a: pl. 378, upper figs., opp. p. 97, text p. 106), although it is not there said to be the type. The following specimens are paratypes: Frankston, AMNH 607593 (Mathews no. 4951); Lal Lal, AMNH 607596 (1635); Melton, AMNH 607602 (5088); Olinda Creek, AMNH 607605 (4545); and Upper Yarra, AMNH 607607 (1634). Possible paratypes, although I did not find them listed in Mathews’ catalog, are: Frankston, AMNH 607591, male, 22 August 1908; AMNH 607592, male, 22 April 1908; and Olinda, AMNH 607604, female, 8 July 1911.

Mathews (1913a: 168) specified the type locality of inexpectata as Gippsland, the collecting locality of his holotype. Mayr (1986d: 566) considered inexpectata a synonym of rodinogaster.
