Melithreptus atricapillus subleucogenys Mathews

Melithreptus atricapillus subleucogenys Mathews, 1912a: 394 (Lake Dundas, West Australia).

Now Melithreptus brevirostris leucogenys Milligan, 1903 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 395, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 279–281, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 673– 674.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 691623 View Materials , adult male, collected at Lake Dundas , 850 ft, 32.25S, 121.50E ( USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 24 June 1905, by F.L. W[hitlock] (no. 8011). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5325) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews had a single specimen and cited its catalog number in the original description, giving the range as ‘‘Lake Dundas.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Whitlock’s original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels.

Salomonsen (1967: 395) synonymized subleucogenys with what he called augustus; Schodde and Mason (1999: 279–281) and Higgins et al. (2008: 673) included it in the range of leucogenys.
