Cracticus tibicen terraereginae

Cracticus tibicen terraereginae
Mathews, 1912a: 372
(
Queensland
(Bartle Frere)).
Now
Gymnorhina tibicen terraereginae
(
Mathews, 1912
)
. See Amadon, 1951: 20; 1962b: 169;

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 673046
, adult male, collected on
Mount Bartle Frere
,
17.20S
,
145.45E
(Times
Atlas
),
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
26 May 1900
, by
E. Olive
(no. 119).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 3637) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
and gave the range of
terraereginae
as ‘‘North
Queensland
.’’ The
holotype
, in addition to Olive’s original label, bears a Mathews Collection label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen served as the model for
Mathews (1923b
: pl. 483, center fig., opp p. 337, text p. 338), where it is confirmed as the type of
terraereginae
. Apparently, Mathews had first intended to name the subspecies ‘‘
queenslandicus
,’’ as this name is marked out on both type labels and replaced on the Rothschild type label with
terraereginae
.
The following specimens are
paratypes
: Bartle Frere,
AMNH 673045
(Mathews no. 3638), males,
26 May 1900
, collected by
Olive
;
Inkerman,
AMNH 673042
(2551), male,
AMNH 673043
(2552), female,
5 March 1907
, collected by
Stalker.
AMNH 673045
is not a
paratype
as it was in the part of the
Olive
collection purchased by
Rothschild
and was never in the Mathews Collection. Other specimens of
terraereginae
from north
Queensland
in the
Mathews Collection
were collected after its publication on
31 January 1912
.
Mathews purchased part of Olive’s collection from H.C. Robinson, for whom Olive had made the collection (see
Robinson and Laverock, 1900: 617–653
).
Ingram (1908b: 458–481)
reported on Stalker’s collection at Inkerman.
Based on morphology,
G.t. terraereginae
was recognized by
Schodde and Mason (1999: 545–550)
, but was found undifferentiated from nominate
tibicen
by
Hughes et al. (2001)
and
Toon et al. (2007)
, based on selected DNA sequences.
