Now Acanthiza apicalis whitlocki North, 1909 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 201–203 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 600595 , adult female, collected on the Tanami Goldfield , 1300 ft , 19.58S , 129.42E ( Storr, 1977: 113 ), Northern Territory , Australia , on 4 March 1910 , by J.P. Rogers (no. 566A). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5139) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Rogers’ label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a : pl. 447, right-hand fig., opp. p. 409, text p. 414), where it is confirmed as the type of tanami . Apparently he had the single specimen. Mayr and Serventy (1938: 264) mentioned the ‘‘unique type’’, and Mayr (1986b: 436) recognized Acanthiza apicalis tanami .
