Anellobia chrysoptera tasmanica Mathews View in CoL

Anellobia chrysoptera tasmanica Mathews, 1912a: 420 (Tasmania) View in CoL .

Now Anthochaera chrysoptera tasmanica (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 446, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 297–298, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 620–621.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696486 About AMNH , adult male, collected in Tasmania, undated, obtained from R.H.W. Leach and cataloged 10 March 1910. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4378) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of tasmanica as ‘‘ Tasmania.’’ The holotype bears a Mathews Collection label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Whittell (1954: 417) noted that Leach visited Tasmania in 1863, but Mathews also had specimens obtained from Leach that were collected at other times. Paratype: AMNH 696487 About AMNH (Mathews no. 4379), female, Tasmania, undated, obtained from R.H.W. Leach and cataloged 10 March 1910. AMNH 696484 About AMNH , male, Swansea ; AMNH 696485 About AMNH , male, Tasmania, are from the Mathews Collection, but undated, and I did not find them listed in Mathews’ catalog .
