Hylacola pyrrhopygia whitlocki Mathews

Hylacola pyrrhopygia whitlocki Mathews, 1912a: 333 (West Australia).

Now Calamanthus cautus whitlocki (Mathews, 1912) . See Mayr, 1986b: 430, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 148–149.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585550 , unsexed adult, collected at ‘‘ MondurubTank’ ’ (?), Stirling Range, 34.23S, 117.50E ( USBGN, 1957b), Western Australia, Australia, on 22 September 1910, by F.L. Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 6155) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the holotype, there are five paratypes cataloged at the same time, all collected in the Stirling Ranges in 1910 by F.L. Whitlock: AMNH 585545 (Mathews no. 6154), male, 19 October ; AMNH 585546 (6159), male, 2 October, near Yetermirrup , marked ‘‘ ♀, J.R. F[ord]’’ ; AMNH 585547 and 585548 ( Mathews catalog nos. 6156 and 6157), nestlings, 3 October, Yetermirrup ; and AMNH 585549 (6158), nestling, 14 October, Mt. Donelly. For an account of his collecting trip, see Whitlock (1911) .

Mathews (1913a: 200) specified the type locality of whitlocki as the Stirling Range, the collecting locality of his holotype. Mayr (1986b: 430) retained the genus Hylacola and considered cautus monotypic; del Hoyo et al. (2007: 585) included the subspecies whitlocki in the species Hylacola cauta .
