Stipiturus malachurus tregellasi
Mathews, 1912c: 45
(
Victoria
(Frankston)).
Now
Stipiturus malachurus malachurus

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 602921
, adult male, collected at
Frankston
,
38.08S
,
145.07E
(Times Atlas),
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
17 May 1909
, by
L.G. Chandler. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 11148) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description;
in his catalog, the specimen was credited to
Chandler. It
bears a yellow ‘‘
Figured’
’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1922e
: pl. 465, lower left-hand fig., opp. p. 131, text p. 133), where it is confirmed as the type of
tregellasi
.
AMNH 602922
(Mathews no. 8556), male from
Frankston
, collected by
Tregellas
on
17 January 1911
, is a
paratype
.
Mathews
number 11147 is a female specimen collected by
Tregellas
on
25 February 1911
.
This
specimen, also a
paratype
, did not come to
AMNH
with the Rothschild Collection.
AMNH 602923–602925
, males collected in
April and December 1908
by Chandler at Frankston, are possible
paratypes
, but I did not find them listed in Mathews’ catalog to establish their availability prior to the description of
tregellasi
.
