Description

Grallina cyanoleuca neglecta Mathews

Grallina cyanoleuca neglecta Mathews, 1912a: 372 (North-West Australia (Parry’s Creek)).

Now Grallina cyanoleuca neglecta Mathews, 1912. See Mathews, 1923b: 323–333; Mayr, 1962a: 159; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 507–508; Dickinson, 2003: 503; Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 236–238; and Tingay and Tingay, 2009: 270–271.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 655453, adult male, collected at Parry Creek, 15.36S, 128.17E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), 5 mi. west

of Trig. Stn. H.J.9, East Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, on 12 February 1909, by J.P. Rogers (no. 651). From the Mathews Collection (no. 2535) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘North- West Australia.’’ The following specimens are considered paratypes: Parry Creek, AMNH 665454, 655455, 655461–655464, two males, three females, one sex?, collected October 1908 – February 1909, by Rogers; Derby, AMNH 655456, 655457, male, female, collected November, December 1910, by Rogers; Point Torment, King Sound, AMNH 655459, 655460, male, female, collected February 1911, by Rogers; Broome Hill, AMNH 655465–655468, three males, one juvenile, collected February and October 1906, December 1907, by T. Carter; Strelley River, AMNH 655471, male, September 1907, collector?. These specimens, including the holotype, were found in Mathews’ catalog under the following numbers: 2530– 2541, 6289–6290, and 8410–8411. Other specimens were either cataloged after the publication of the description or were never in the Mathews Collection.

The ICZN (2009: 375–378) has voted to conserve the specific name cyanoleucus and reject the specific name picata in reference to this species.

CORCORACIDAE

Schodde et al. (2013: 238–244) have submitted to the ICZN an application to conserve Corcoracidae as the valid name of this family based on its prevailing usage in relevant literature. Until a decision is reached by the Commission, the name Corcoracidae is to be used (ICZN, 1999: 96, Art. 82.1).
