Description
Myzomela pectoralis incerta Mathews, 1912a: 396 (Cape York, Queensland).
Now Cissomela pectoralis (Gould, 1841). See Salomonsen, 1967: 436, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 329–330, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 659–660.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 693398, adult male, collected on Cape York, Queensland, Australia. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3027) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘North Queensland (Cape York).’’ The holotype bears a Mathews Collection and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. All other Cape York specimens in AMNH either were collected after the 31 January 1912 publication of incerta or were never in Mathews’ collection.
Schodde and Mason (1999: 329–330), while tentatively including this species in the genus Certhionyx, placed it in the subgenus Cissomela. Subsequent molecular studies by Driskell and Christidis (2004) indicated that the three species Schodde and Mason placed in Certhionyx, but in different subgenera, were paraphyletic in three different clades within the Meliphagidae; Christidis and Boles (2008: 188) elevated each of the subgenera given by Schodde and Mason to monotypic genera.
