description: <i>Pachycephala peninsulae</i> Hartert <i>Pachycephala peninsulae</i> Hartert, 1899e: 33 (Cape York, N.E. Australia). Now <i>Pachycephala simplex peninsulae</i> Hartert, 1899. See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 439–440, and Boles, 2007: 416. LECTOTYPE: <b>AMNH 658506</b>, adult male, collected on the Chester River, 13.42S, 143.33E (Parker, 1966), Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia, on 29 July 1898, by collectors for Albert S. Meek (no. 2041). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description or in Hartert (1899c: 423), but Hartert (1920a: 446) listed Meek’s no. 2041 for the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The specimen bears the original field label, marked ‘‘Type,’’ and a Rothschild type label. Hartert did not indicate the number of specimens collected, although measurements for more than one adult were given and the immature described. The following specimens, all collected on Cape York Peninsula by Meek’s collectors in July 1898, are paralectotypes: <b>AMNH 658505</b> (Meek’s no. 1894), male; <b>AMNH 658507</b> (1868), slightly immature male; <b>AMNH 658508</b> (1879), female. As noted by Schodde and Mason (1999: 440), <i>Eopsaltria</i> (?) <i>inornata</i> Ramsay, 1875, type locality Rockingham Bay, north Queensland, was rendered permanently invalid for the northeastern Australian form of <i>P. simplex</i> by Mathews’ (1912a: 317) provision of a replacement name (ICZN, 1999: 62, Art. 59.3).
