description: <i>Manorina melanophrys yarra</i> Mathews <i>Manorina melanophrys yarra</i> Mathews, 1912a: 416 (Victoria). Now <i>Manorina melanophrys</i> (Latham, 1801). See Salomonsen, 1967: 440, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 264–265, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 615–616. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 697337</b>, male, collected at Beaconsfield, 38.03S, 145.22E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 26 May 1907, by Thomas Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 8153) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range of <i>yarra</i> as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ The holotype bears an original tag, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a label marked ‘‘ Figured,’’ indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1925a: pl. 545, upper fig., opp. p. 32, text p. 33), where it is confirmed as the type of <i>yarra</i>. Paratypes are: Gippsland Lakes, <b>AMNH 697335</b> (Mathews no. 2826), female, 9 October 1909, by Tregellas; Beaconsfield, <b>AMNH 697336</b>, <b>697338</b>, <b>697339</b>, <b>697340</b> (three Mathews nos., 4964, 4965, 4967), one adult and three juvenile males, 1 May 1909; <b>AMNH 697341</b> (4963), female, 1 May 1909; <b>AMNH 697342</b> (4746), female, 1 May 1909; <b>AMNH 697344</b> (4966), juvenile, 12 June 1909, all by L.G. Chandler and/or F.E. Wilson; <b>AMNH 697345</b> (4754), sex?, 2 April 1910, by F.E. Howe. AMNH 697343, female, collected at Beaconsfield on 18 June 1910 by Wilson is probably a paratype, but I did not find it entered in Mathews’ catalog. For use of 1801 as the date of publication for Latham’s <i>Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici</i>, see Schodde et al. (2010).
