RED-BROWED PARDALOTE. 
Pardalotus rubricatus rubricatus Gould. 
New South Wales, Queensland. 
Pardalotus rubricatus parryi Mathews. 
“ Differs from P. r. pallidus in being darker and having a yellowish wash 
above. Parry’s Creek, North-west Australia.” 
North-west Australia, Northern Territory. 
Pardalotus rubricatus pallidus Campbell. 
West Australia (Mid). 
Soon after, a series of Queensland buds sent by Dr. Macgillivray included 
the species from Cape York, a most unexpected result, and I distinguished 
Pardalotus rubricatus yorlci. 
“ Differs from P. r. rubricatus in having a more greenish-yellow rump, and 
the outer edges of the secondaries orange. Cape York.” 
North Queensland. 
and 
Pardalotus rubricatus leichhardti. 
“ Differs from P. r. yorki in being much lighter above. Leichhardt River, 
Queensland. 
Mid-Queensland (Inland). 
Then Captain White found the species in the interior, and I named 
Pardalotus rubricatus musgravi. 
“ Differs from P. r. leichhardti Mathews in having white (not yellow) under 
tail-coverts, smaller bill, and the yellow rump not so pronounced. Musgrave 
Ranges, Central Australia.” 
Central Australia. 
The recognition of the genus Dipardalotus makes the forms read : 
Dipardalotus rubricatus rubricatus (Gould). 
Dipardalotus rubricatus leichhardti (Mathews). 
Dipardalotus rubricatus yorki (Mathews). 
Dipardalotus rubricatus musgravi (Mathews). 
Dipardalotus rubricatus parryi (Mathews). 
Dipardalotus rubricatus pallidus (Campbell). 
The last named is certainly only subspecifically separable and is even less 
marked than some of the other subspecies above noted.
