Pardalotus rubricatus leichhardti Mathews

Pardalotus rubricatus leichhardti Mathews, 1913a: 10 (Leichhardt River, Queensland).

Now P. r. rubricatus View in CoL X P. r. yorki . See Salomonsen 1961b: 16–24, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 126– 127, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 699182 View Materials , adult male, collected on the Leichhardt River , Queensland, Australia, on 3 July 1910. From the Mathews Collection (no. 17289) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews designated as type a male collected on the Leichhardt River on 3 July 1910, but did not give his catalog number. He had two specimens bearing these data ; AMNH 699182 View Materials bears in addition to the original label, Mathews’ type label with data including his catalog number entered in his hand, and a Rothschild type label. As this is the specimen intended by Mathews as his type and has already been considered the type by Salo- monsen (1961b: 21–22, 24, without, however, giving an AMNH number or other information by which to identify it), I hereby designate AMNH 699182 View Materials the lectotype of Pardalotus rubricatus leichhardti . The paralectotype is AMNH 699183 View Materials , male, collected on the Leichhardt River on 3 July 1910. Both of these specimens were collected by W.R. McLennan for W.D.K. Macgillivray, from whom Mathews received them .

Mathews (1913a: 10) compared leichhardti only with yorki, and found it lighter above, but did not mention his subspecies parryi occurring to the west. Salomonsen (1961b: 21–22) synonymized leichhardti with parryi, which he recognized. Schodde and Mason synonymized parryi with nominate rubricatus and showed leichhardti as coming from an area of intergradation between nominate rubricatus and yorki. Both specimens of leichhardti are intermediate between specimens of ‘‘ parryi ’’ and yorki; they are closer to yorki in the color of the underparts and the yellow wing bar, but closer to ‘‘ parryi ’’ in the color of the back.

Macgillivray (1914: 134) noted that on 3 July 1910 McLennan was between Lorraine Station and Augustus Downs, 18.33S, 139.53E ( Storr, 1984: 179).
