Myzantha flavigula casuarina Mathews

Myzantha flavigula casuarina Mathews, 1912d: 100 (Mount Casuarina, North-west Australia).

Now Manorina flavigula lutea (Gould, 1840) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 442, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617–618.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694485 , adult male, collected on Mount Casuarina summit, 700 ft, 14.23S, 127.42E ( USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 6 October 1911, by C.P. Conigrave (no. 135). From the Mathews Collection (no. 12944) via the Rothschild Collection

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘Mount Casuarina.’’ The holotype bears Conigrave’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. There are three male paratypes from Mount Casuarina, all collected on 6 October 1911: AMNH 694486 (Mathews no. 12941, Conigrave no. 137); AMNH 694487 (12942, 136); AMNH 694488 (12943, 138). The subspecies casuarina was recognized by Salomonsen (1967: 442) and synonymized with lutea by Schodde and Mason (1999: 269– 273) and Higgins et al. (2008: 617).
