THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
I later added 
Ptilotis ornata ivesleydalei. 
44 Differs from P. o. ornata Gould in being much darker above, and in having 
the yellow ear-patch and the dark stripes on the under-surface much more 
pronounced. Broome Hill, S.W.A.” 
Inland districts of South-west Australia. 
Ptilotis ornata underbooli. 
44 Differs from P. o. tailemi Mathews in its smaller size, more curved bill, 
lighter upper- and under-parts and smaller yellow ear-patch. Underbool, 
Victoria.” 
Mallee country of Victoria and South 
Australia. 
In my 1913 44 List ” I referred these to the genus Lidienostomus and 
synonymised P. o. underbooli with P. o. tailemi, but when I transferred the 
species to the genus Sacramela I admitted the five subspecies. 
At the present time it seems best to allow all the five, as Austin has 
recorded it from Cobbora, a district away from its previously recorded range, 
and Ashby’s recent notes in connection with P. penicillaia are suggestive of 
this species also.
