Cinnyris frenata olivei Mathews

Cinnyris frenata olivei Mathews, 1912a: 391 (North Queensland (Cairns)).

Now Cinnyris jugularis frenatus (Mueller, 1843) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 729–730, Cheke and Mann, 2008a: 296–297.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 687781 , adult male, collected at Cairns , 16.51S, 145.43E (Times Atlas), Queensland, Australia, in August 1908, by Schrader. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2931) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. The specimen bears, in addition to the Mathews Collection label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 510, lower left, opp. p. 227, text p. 232), where it is confirmed as the type of olivei. The number ‘‘732’’ on the Mathews Collection label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). Paratypes in AMNH are: collected by E. Olive, AMNH 687775, male, Johnstone River, 26 June 1900, AMNH 687776 (Mathews no. 5900), male, AMNH 687777 (5901), female, Bellenden Ker, 11 January 1900; collected by Schrader at Cairns, AMNH 687778–687780, AMNH 687782–687790, seven males, five females, August–November 1908 (two undated). Mathews catalog listed Schrader’s paratypes at nos. 2932, 2933, 2934, 4561–4568, and 6019, 6020; it proved impossible to match the catalog numbers to the specimens.

AMNH 687776 , collected at Bellenden Ker by Olive, was marked ‘‘Co-type’’ by Mathews ; however, this is incorrect, as Mathews designated a holotype in the original description. AMNH 687787 , female, also bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label and was figured in the plate with the male holotype, on the middle right .
