French: Séricorne à gorge jaune
German: Gelbkehlsericornis
Spanish: Sedosito Gorjigualdo
Other common names: Lemon-throated Scrubwren, Yellow-throated Sericornis, Yellow Throat
Taxonomy: Sericornis citreogularis Gould, 1838, New South Wales, Australia.
Distinctive N race cairnsi, smaller and with different vocalizations, reportedly has high level of genetic divergence from S races; conceivably a separate species. Race intermedius intergrades with nominate and often synonymized with it. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- cairnsi Mathews, 1912 - Atherton-Windsor uplands of NE Queensland, in NE Australia.
- intermedius Mathews, 1912 - SE Queensland (Bunya Mts) S to NE New South Wales (to R Clarence drainage).
- citreogularis Gould, 1838 - coastal New South Wales E of Great Dividing Range (from R Clarence drainage S to Mt Dromedary).
