Pardalotus striatus murchisoni Mathews

Pardalotus striatus murchisoni Mathews, 1912a: 388 (West Australia (Murchison)).

Now Pardalotus striatus substriatus Mathews, 1912 . See Salomonsen, 1961c: 20, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 128–131, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698980 , adult male, collected at Milly Pool , East Murchison River drainage, Western Australia, Australia, on 18 September 1909, by F.L[awson] W[hitlock]. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3969) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of murchisoni as ‘‘Mid-Westralia.’’ The specimen bears Whitlock’s original label (marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews), Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was figured in Mathews (1923b: pl. 508, lower left, opp. p. 195, text p. 197), where it is confirmed as the type of murchisoni. Paratypes, all from East Murchison and collected by Whitlock, are: Lake Way, AMNH 698976 (Mathews no. 2864), female, 1 July 1909, AMNH 698977 (2865), female, 23 August 1909 ; Borewell, AMNH 698978 (2866), female, 2 August 1909, AMNH 698979 (3970), female, 5 September 1909 .

Whitlock (1910: 186–187) was at Milly Pool, ca. 20 miles northwest of Wiluna, 26.37S, 120.12E (Times Atlas) from mid- September to 6 November 1909.
