Struthidea cinerea swainsoni Mathews

Struthidea cinerea swainsoni Mathews, 1912a: 445 (Queensland) .

Now Struthidea cinerea subspecies?. See Mayr, 1962a: 160; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 618–619; Dickinson, 2003: 515; and Rowley and Russell, 2009a: 284–285.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 673847 , sex?, ‘‘ Queensland (North),’’ Australia. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3741) via the Roth schild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the type, but no additional information concerning the specimen is noted there. Schodde and Mason (1999: 619) considered this name indeterminate and used the later name dalyi for the subspecies from northern Queensland and Northern Territory. The holotype does not have an original label but bears, in addition to the Mathews label, Rothschild and Mathews type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1927: pl. 599, opp. p. 422; text p. 423) where it is confirmed as the type of swainsoni. No futher information on the provenance of the specimen was included.
