Description

Manorina melanophrys yarra Mathews

Manorina melanophrys yarra Mathews, 1912a: 416 (Victoria).

Now Manorina melanophrys (Latham, 1801). See Salomonsen, 1967: 440, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 264–265, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 615–616.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697337, male, collected at Beaconsfield, 38.03S, 145.22E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 26 May 1907, by Thomas Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 8153) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range of yarra as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ The holotype bears an original tag, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a label marked ‘‘ Figured,’’ indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1925a: pl. 545, upper fig., opp. p. 32, text p. 33), where it is confirmed as the type of yarra. Paratypes are: Gippsland Lakes, AMNH 697335 (Mathews no. 2826), female, 9 October 1909, by Tregellas; Beaconsfield, AMNH 697336, 697338, 697339, 697340 (three Mathews nos., 4964, 4965, 4967), one adult and three juvenile males, 1 May 1909; AMNH 697341 (4963), female, 1 May 1909; AMNH 697342 (4746), female, 1 May 1909; AMNH 697344 (4966), juvenile, 12 June 1909, all by L.G. Chandler and/or F.E. Wilson; AMNH 697345 (4754), sex?, 2 April 1910, by F.E. Howe. AMNH 697343, female, collected at Beaconsfield on 18 June 1910 by Wilson is probably a paratype, but I did not find it entered in Mathews’ catalog. For use of 1801 as the date of publication for Latham’s Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici, see Schodde et al. (2010).
