Description
Alisteranus cinctus vinotinctus Mathews
Alisteranus cinctus vinotinctus Mathews, 1912a: 433 (Queensland (Inkerman)).
Now Poephila cincta cincta (Gould, 1837). See Mayr et al., 1968: 361; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 759–760; Dickinson, 2003: 733; and Payne, 2010: 359.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 721597, immature male, collected in grasslands at Inkerman, 19.45S, 147.29E (USBGN, 1957), Queensland, Australia, on 2 April 1907, by Wilfred Stalker (no. 324). From the Mathews Collection (no. 3549) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews only said that the type was from Inkerman, also giving that as the range of the form. In addition to the male, an immature female was also collected by Stalker at Inkerman on the same day. AMNH 721597 bears, in addition to Stalker’s label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, indicating that this was Mathews selected type of vinotincta, and it was so cataloged at AMNH when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH in 1932. In order to remove all ambiguity, I hereby designate AMNH 721597 the lectotype of A. cinctus vinotinctus. Mathews did not give his catalog number in the original description, but it was incorrectly written on the Mathews and Rothschild type labels as ‘‘3547.’’ The number ‘‘843’’ that appears on Stalker’s label refers to this species in Mathews (1908). The paralectotype is AMNH 721598 (Mathews no. 3550), immature female, Inkerman, 2 April 1907.
Stalker’s collection was made for Sir William Ingram and originally reported on by Collingwood Ingram (1908: 458–481). The collection was acquired by Mathews prior to 1912.
