Description
Climacteris rufa obscura Carter
Climacteris rufa obscura Carter, 1910: 16 (Warren River, South-west Australia).
Now Climacteris rufus Gould, 1841. See Whittell and Serventy, 1948: 88, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 76, and Noske, 2007b: 659–660.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 684952, adult male, collected on the Warren River, 34.35S, 115.50E (USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 18 February 1910, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5571) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, the type was said to be in the collection of G.M. Mathews, but no type was designated. The specimen that is now AMNH 684952 bears Carter’s field label marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews and with his catalog number (the number ‘‘703A’’ on this label refers to the number of this species in Mathews, 1908); a Rothschild type label; a Mathews type label with Mathews’ catalog number; and a Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923b: pl. 499, middle figure, opp. p. 93, text p. 94) where it is said to be the type of Climacteris rufa obscura, thereby designating it the lectotype. Number 5571 in Mathews’ catalog is also indicated as the type.
In the original description, the range of this form was given as the Warren River. There is only one additional Warren River specimen in AMNH collected before 31 January 1912, the publication date of obscura; this paratype is AMNH 684955 (Mathews no. 5770), female, collected on 18 February 1910 by Carter.
