THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
“ Differs from P. c. ethelce in its more slender bill, and in having less yellow 
on the throat, and the black feathers above the ear-patch narrow. Mt. 
Grainger, South Australia.” 
Adjoining parts of New South Wales and 
South Australia. 
In my 1913 “ List ” as above noted I rejected the name ckrysotis and 
reverted to Gould’s plumulus, and placed the species in the genus Lichenostomus, 
admitting five subspecies: 
Lichenostomus plumulus plumulus (Gould). 
South-west Australia. 
Lichenostomus plumulus planasi (Campbell). 
North-west Australia. 
Lichenostomus plumulus andersoni (Mathews). 
Interior of North-west Australia. 
Lichenostomus plumulus grainyeri (Mathews). 
Adjoining parts of New South Wales, 
Victoria, and South Australia. 
Lichenostomus plumulus ethelce (Mathews). 
South Australia. 
I have since added 
Lichenostomus plumulus gracemeri. 
“ Differs from L. p. graingeri in being lighter and smaller, and in having the 
black on the ear-coveits more extensive. Gracemere, Queensland.” 
Queensland and Northern Territory. 
I now refer the species to the genus Sacramela with the above six sub¬ 
species, thus: 
Sacramela plumida plumula (Gould). 
Sacramela plumula planasi (Campbell). 
Sacramela plumula andersoni (Mathews). 
Sacramela plumula graingeri (Mathews). 
Sacramela plumula ethelce (Mathews). 
Sacramela plumula gracemeri (Mathews).
