Description
Sphecotheres flaviventris audoni Mathews
Sphecotheres flaviventris audoni Mathews, 1912a: 436 (Cairns, Queensland).
Now from a zone of intergradation between Sphecotheres v. vieilloti and S. v. flaviventris. See Mathews, 1930: 862; Greenway, 1962: 136; Ford, 1975; 1982; 1987; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 595–597; and Walther and Jones, 2008: 715–716.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 671371, adult male, collected at Cairns, 16.51S, 145.43E (Times
Atlas), Queensland, Australia, in July 1908, by P. Schrader. From the Mathews Collection (no. 6011) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, after his catalog number of the holotype, Mathews gave the range of the form as ‘‘ Queensland (Cairns).’’ The following Cairns specimens collected by Schrader are paratypes: AMNH 671368–671370, 671373, 671374, 671376 (Mathews catalog nos. 3599– 3603, 6012), four males, two females, collected July–November 1908. The number 853 that appears on Mathews’ labels refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). Three specimens collected in 1884 by Bowyer-Bower were not cataloged by Mathews until after the publication date of audoni. Already by 1913, he considered audoni a synonym of S. f. flaviventris (Mathews, 1913a: 307).
