Chthonicola sagittata queenslandica
Mathews
Chthonicola sagittata queenslandica
Mathews, 1912f: 119
(
Queensland
).
Now
Pyrrholaemus sagittatus
(Latham, 1801)
. See
Mayr, 1986b: 426
, and
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 158–159

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 597529
, adult male, collected at
Tambo
,
24.52S
,
146.15E
(Times Atlas),
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
10 August 1881
.
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 14576) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number in the original description. This is the only
Queensland
specimen from the Mathews Collection that came to AMNH. According to his catalog, Mathews obtained the specimen from [Prof. Robert] Collett, Director of ZMO.
Mathews (1942: 43)
indicated that the specimens he obtained from Collett were collected by Kurt Dahl. However, according to
Whittell (1954: 184)
, Dahl did not arrive in
Australia
until 1894. As previously noted (
LeCroy, 2005: 56
), some of the specimens Mathews received from Collett had been collected in the early 1880s by Carl Lumholtz, who was stationed at Gracemere (
23.27S
,
150.27E
;
Storr, 1984: 183
). This was most probably one of those specimens.
Mathews (1913a: 213)
specified the type locality as Tambo, the collecting locality of the
holotype
. In del
Hoyo et al. (2007: 591)
,
sagittatus
is included in the genus
Chthonicola
.

Calamanthus fuliginosus obscurior
Mathews, 1923b: 35
(
New South Wales
).
Now
Calamanthus fuliginosus albiloris
North, 1902
. See
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 150–151
.
Mathews (1923b: 35)
described this form, saying that the
type
was from
New South Wales
(ex Gould collection). There are no specimens of this species from
New South Wales
in AMNH.
