Acrocephalus australis inexpectatus
Mathews
Acrocephalus australis inexpectatus
Mathews, 1912e: 92
(
New South Wales
).
Now
Acrocephalus australis australis
(Gould, 1838)
. See
Watson et al., 1986a: 68
, and
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 698–699
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 594505
, adult male, collected at
Parramatta
,
33.50S
,
150.57E
(Times Atlas),
New South Wales
,
Australia
,
in
October 1909
, by Schräder. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4614) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
, which bears both Mathews and Rothschild type labels.
New South Wales
was given as the type locality and the range of the form, but Parramatta is the collecting locality of the
holotype
as noted by
Mathews (1913a: 209)
. The field label bears the numbers ‘‘551’’, which refers to the number of
Acrocephalus australis
in Mathews’ (1908a), and ‘‘1043’’, the significance of which I have not discovered. There are at least
four paratypes
: AMNH 594506– 594509 (Mathews nos. 4611–4613 and 5990, all cataloged in 1910) collected by Schräder at Parramatta in
October 1909
.
