Zosterops lateralis cornwalli Mathews View in CoL

Zosterops lateralis cornwalli Mathews, 1912a: 385 View in CoL (Mackay, Queensland).

Now Zosterops lateralis vegetus Hartert, 1899 View in CoL . See Mees, 1969: 80–86, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 687–691, and van Balen, 2008: 467–468.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700958 View Materials , adult female, collected at Mackay , 21.10S, 149.10E (Times Atlas), Queensland, Australia, undated. From the Mathews Collection (6505) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, but did not mention how many specimens he examined. The holotype bears a Mathews Collection label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was illustrated in Mathews (1923a: pl. 505, upper figure, opp. p. 136, text p. 139), where the illustrated female is confirmed as the type of cornwalli. Mathews’ ‘‘no. 6505’’ is a single specimen of ‘‘ Zosterops vegeta’’ which he had purchased from the dealer Gerrard. The number ‘‘716’’ which appears on his collection label refers to the number of the species in Mathews (1908).

Mathews (1912a: 386) gave the range of cornwalli as ‘‘ Mid Queensland.’’ The following specimens are paratypes: Barron River, AMNH 700966 View Materials ( Mathews no. 9556), female, 27 May 1911 ; Cairns, AMNH 700967 View Materials (2847), male, November 1908. The following specimens are probable paratypes ; they were cataloged on 17 February 1912, shortly after Mathews description was published on 31 January 1912: Cairns, AMNH 700968 View Materials (10327), male, November 1911 ; AMNH 700969 View Materials (10325), male, October 1911 ; AMNH 700970 View Materials (10326), male, October 1911 ; AMNH 700971 View Materials (10328), female, November 1911 ; Tolga, AMNH 700973 View Materials (10323), female, August 1911 ; Malanda, AMNH 700974 View Materials (10324), female, August 1911. AMNH 700972 View Materials is not a paratype ; even though it was collected at Cairns on 9 June 1884, it was not cataloged by Mathews until May 1913. Other specimens were either never in Mathews’ collection or were collected after the date of publication of cornwalli .
