Pardalotus striatus subaffinis Mathews

Pardalotus striatus subaffinis Mathews, 1912a: 388 (South Australia).

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698914 , unsexed adult, collected at Blackwood, 35.01S, 138.37E ( USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, undated, from Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9032) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. As noted by Salomonsen (1961c: 20), Mathews did not give an exact type locality, but Blackwood is the locality written on the Ashby label of the holotype. In addition to that label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923: pl. 508, opp. p. 195, text p. 198), where it is confirmed as the type of subaffinis. In that text, this individual is referred to only as an adult. On plate 508, it must be the upper left figure as the position on the plate of all of the other individuals is given in the text; but a male symbol appears beneath the figure itself.

Mathews gave the range of subaffinis as ‘‘ South Australia.’’ The following specimens from South Australia were in his possession when subaffinis was published on 31 January 1912 and are considered paratypes: AMNH 698899 (Mathews no. 9635), male, near Lake Greenly , Eyre Peninsula ; AMNH 698900 (9636), unsexed, Warunda Creek, Eyre Peninsula , 26 August 1911 ; AMNH 698901 (not found in Mathews’ catalog), female, Warunda Creek, Eyre Peninsula , 25 August 1911 ; AMNH 698902 (10001), male, Flinders Range, northeast of Port Augusta , 10 October 1911 ; AMNH 698911 (9033), unsexed, Sandy Point, Yorke Peninsula , October 1886 .
