Pachycephala lanioides bulleri Mayr

Pachycephala lanioides bulleri Mayr, 1954: 8 (De Grey River, Western Australia).

Now Pachycephala lanioides carnarvoni Mathews, 1913 . See Mees, 1964a: 93–94, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 450–451, Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 206–209, and Boles, 2007: 429.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 702488 , adult female, collected at the mouth of the De Grey River , 19.58S, 119.09E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 506), Western Australia, Australia, on 5 July 1947, by Kenneth Buller (no. 348).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description, and Mayr noted that he had nine adult males, six adult females, and two juveniles, some of which were labeled Port Hedland. Only eight adult males, six adult females, and two juveniles were cataloged and all are present in AMNH. Paratypes collected by Buller on the De Grey River in July 1947 are: males, AMNH 702478–702483 ; and females, AMNH 702484–702487 , 702489 . Paratypes collected at Port Hedland in October 1914 by F. Lawson Whitlock for H.L. White, from whom they went to the Mathews Collection and via the Rothschild Collection to AMNH: adult males, AMNH 659287 , 659288 ; and juveniles, AMNH 659289 , 659290 .

Johnstone and Storr (2004: 206–209) did not recognize subspecies in P. lanioides ; Schodde and Mason (1999: 450–451) provided a summary of treatments of this species and considered bulleri a synonym of P. l. carnarvoni, as did Boles (2007: 429).
