Colluricincla rufiventris carteri Mathews

Colluricincla rufiventris carteri Mathews, 1923c: 35 (near Albany, South-west Australia).

Now Colluricincla harmonica rufiventris Gould, 1841 . See Whittell and Serventy, 1948: 66, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462, and Boles, 2007: 432–433.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 656835 (Mathews no. 2513), adult male, collected at ‘‘ Tor Bay , Albany,’’ 35.02S, 117.53E ( USBGN, 1957), southwestern Western Australia, Australia, 22 April 1905 ; AMNH 656836 (2511), immature male, collected at Albany , 11 February 1905, by Thomas Carter ; AMNH 656837 (5203), immature male, collected at Albany , 9 January 1905, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: Only three specimens from the Mathews Collection are labeled Albany, but none are indicated as the type ; accordingly, all are considered syntypes. AMNH 656835 has no original label, only a Mathews Collection label with data supplied by Mathews ; the locality probably should be Torbay Bay, near Albany. His catalog number is also written on it, but there is no further information concerning its provenance. The other two specimens are immatures but the original description is characteristically too vague to exclude them as types .
