Pardalotus melanocephalus restrictus Salomonsen

Pardalotus melanocephalus restrictus Salomonsen, 1961c: 29 (Jardine River, Cape York).

Now Pardalotus striatus uropygialis Gould, 1840 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 128–131, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 699113 , adult male, collected on the Jardine River , 10.55S, 142.13E ( USBGN, 1957), Cape York, Queensland, Australia, on 16 April 1911, by William R. McLennan. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Salomonsen cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that he had a type series of two specimens from the Jardine River and two from ‘‘ Cape York.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to McLennan’s label, a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘ Ex coll. G.M. Mathews,’’ a Mathews ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 509, upper right figure, opp. p. 210, text p. 211), and an AMNH type label. The three paratypes are: AMNH 699114 , male, Jardine River, 16 April 1911, collected by McLennan ; AMNH 699115 , male, Cape York, 19 June 1898, collected by A.S. Meek (no. 1826) ; AMNH 699116 , female, Cape York, 18 June 1898, collected by A.S. Meek (no. 1822). Meek’s collecting locality was found to be the Chester River ( Parker, 1966) .

The holotype was collected while McLennan was based at Piara, 10.44S, 142.34E (USBGN, 1957), the Cape York home of H.G. Vidgen (see Macgillivray, 1914: 135).
