Ptilotis sonora broomei Mathews

Ptilotis sonora broomei Mathews, 1912a: 405 (South-West Australia).

Now Lichenostoma virescens virescens (Vieillot, 1817) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 234–235, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 598.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694826 View Materials , adult male, collected at Broomehill , 33.51S, 117.38E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, Australia, on 13 August 1906, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3201) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of the form as ‘‘ West Australia ( Broome Hill ),’’ thus only specimens from Broome Hill would have paratype status. Paratypes are: AMNH 694829 View Materials (Mathews no. 3202), immature female, 17 February 1907 ; AMNH 694830 View Materials (3204), female, 23 June 1908 ; AMNH 694831 View Materials (3203), female, 14 July 1907 ; AMNH 694832 View Materials (3205), juvenile, 18 January 1907, all collected by Carter. Two additional specimens were collected early enough, but I did not find them in Mathews catalog. Because Carter frequently sent Mathews small numbers of specimens at a time, apparently not always cataloged, I was not able to confirm that AMNH 694827 View Materials , male, 30 July 1910 and AMNH 694818 View Materials , male, 10 November 1910 should be considered paratypes .

Salomonsen (1967: 373–374) included virescens in the genus Meliphaga and considered broomei a synonym of M. v. virescens .
