Petroica cucullata westralensis Mathews

Petroica cucullata westralensis Mathews, 1912a: 306 (West Australia, (Perth)).

Now Melanodryas cucullata westralensis (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986d: 567, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 368–370.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 607856 About AMNH , adult male, collected on North Beach , Perth , 31.57S, 115.52E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), Western Australia, Australia, on 11 July 1907. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1665) 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 ‘‘ South West Australia’ ’. The following specimens are paratypes: Broomehill , AMNH 607848 About AMNH (Mathews no 1669), male, 24 September 1905, AMNH 607849 About AMNH and 607850 (1667 and 1672), males, 9 June 1906, AMNH 607851 About AMNH (1675), female, 20 June 1908, AMNH 607852 About AMNH (1674), juvenile, 17 February 1906 ; Perth , AMNH 607857 About AMNH (5279), 17 November 1902 ; and Stirling Ranges, AMNH 607859 About AMNH (6140), 7 October 1910, and AMNH 607860 About AMNH and 607861 (10555 and 10556), females, 15 July 1911. The last two specimens were not cataloged until 24 February 1912, and it is not certain that they were in Mathews’ hands when this name was published on 31 January 1912. The following specimens were collected before the publication of the name, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 607846 About AMNH and 607847, males, Broomehill, 22 July and 9 September 1910, respectively .

Mayr (1986d: 567) considered westralensis a synonym of P. c. cucullata .
