description: <i>Sacramela keartlandi whiteorum</i> Mathews <i>Sacramela keartlandi whiteorum</i> Mathews, 1924: 529 (Musgrave and Everard Ranges, Central Australia). Now <i>Lichenostomus keartlandi</i> (North, 1895). See Salomonsen, 1967: 381, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 247, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 605–606. SYNTYPES: <b>AMNH 695272</b>, adult male, collected in the Everard Range, 27.05S, 132.28E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 9 August 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1624); <b>AMNH 695273</b>, adult male, collected at Glen Ferdinand, 26.19S, 132.06E (USBGN, 1957), Musgrave Range, South Australia, on 19 July 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1622); <b>AMNH 695274</b>, female, collected in the Musgrave Range, on 18 July 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1625); <b>AMNH 695281</b>, adult male, collected at Wallinna Creek, 26.31S, 131.54E (USBGN, 1957), Musgrave Range, South Australia, on 26 July 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1623). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews (1924: 529) introduced this name by saying: ‘‘As noted by Capt. S.A. White this is much brighter than the preceding [nominate <i>keartlandi</i>].’’ White (1915c: 191), in his article on birds collected in the Musgrave and Everard ranges, stated: ‘‘The whole of the plumage, especially the yellow on breast and throat, is much brighter than that of the birds from the type locality.’’ This is also quoted by Mathews (1924: 528). No type was designated; therefore the type series would include specimens collected by White in the Musgrave and Everard ranges in 1914, four of which are in AMNH and are the syntypes listed above; they were not cataloged by Mathews. These specimens had not been previously recognized as types. There are four additional syntypes in SAMA (B. Blaylock, personal commun.). Mathews (1930: 780) restricted the type locality to the Musgrave Range and considered <i>whiteorum</i> a synonym of nominate <i>keartlandi</i>.
