Coleia carunculata perthi Mathews, 1923b: 38 (Perth, West Australia).

Now Anthochaera carunculata woodwardi Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 447, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 301–302, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 623–624.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 696433, female, collected at Perth, 31.57S, 115.52E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512), Western Australia, Australia, in November 1894. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3376) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said that the type of this form was from Perth and that it differed from woodwardi ‘‘in being paler in general coloration and the red caruncle not so pronounced.’’ AMNH 696433 is the only Perth specimen in AMNH from the Mathews Collection, the type status of which is not otherwise indicat- ed. It is also a paratype of A. c. woodwardi (see above). It had not previously been included with the AMNH types. Although many of the subspecies named by Mathews in 1923 were based on quotations from the literature, I have not found any such reference in this case.
