Climacteris erythrops neositta Mathews

Climacteris erythrops neositta Mathews, 1912a: 383 (Callion, West Australia).

Now Climacteris affinis superciliosus North, 1895 View in CoL . See Whittell and Serventy, 1948: 88, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 75, Dickinson, 2003: 428, and Noske, 2007b: 658–659.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 685127 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Callion, 30.07S, 120.35E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, undated, from the Edwin Ashby Collection. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2827) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of neositta as southwest Australia. In addition to Ashby’s original label, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923b: pl. 502, upper fig., opp. p. 117, text pp. 121–122), where it is confirmed as the type of neositta. Paratypes are Mathews’ specimens from southwest Australia, cataloged before the description appeared in January 1912: collected by F.L. Whitlock, AMNH 685120 About AMNH (Mathews Catalog no. 5205), male, Yalgoo Gold Field, 1000 ft, 31 August 1903, Whitlock field no. 398, WAM no. 6080 ; AMNH 685121 About AMNH (5204), female, Day Dawn, 1400 ft, 28 July 1903, WAM no. 5956 ; AMNH 685122 About AMNH (3949), female, Lake Way , E. Murchison, 25 August 1909, ‘‘ Figured’ ’ in same plate as above ; AMNH 685123 About AMNH (2829), female, Lake Way , 3 July 1909 ; AMNH 685124 About AMNH (3947), male, Borewell , 9 September 1909 ; AMNH 685125 About AMNH (3895), female immature, E. Murchison , 27 October 1909 ; AMNH 685126 About AMNH (3951), female, E. Murchison , 3 October 1909 ; collected by E. Ashby, AMNH 685128 About AMNH (2828), female, Callion ; collected by G.C. Shortridge and received by Mathews from BMNH, AMNH 685129 About AMNH (3861), male, Laverton, 2 November 1905 ; and AMNH 685130 About AMNH (3862), female, Laverton , 12 November 1905 .

Greenway (1967c: 163) considered Climacteris affinis monotypic, but recent authors have recognized eastern and western subspecies. On the map in Schodde and Mason (1999: 75) the legend for the range of the subspecies is reversed, but the taxonomic discussion is correct.
