Description

Neostrepera versicolor centralia Mathews

Neostrepera versicolor centralia Mathews, 1916b: 92 (Everard Ranges, Central Australia).

Now Strepera versicolor plumbea Gould, 1846. See Amadon, 1951: 29; 1962b: 171; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 557–560; Dickinson, 2003: 464; and Russell and Rowley, 2009: 241–242.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673739, adult male, collected in the Everard Ranges, 27.05S, 132.28E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 14 August 1914, by S.A. White. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews had only one specimen from the Everard Range when he named centralia. In addition to White’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, this specimen bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1923b: pl. 490, opp. p. 423; text p. 425), where he confirmed it as the type of centralia.
