Ptilotis penicillata rosinae Mathews, 1912a: 412 (Port Augusta, South Australia).

Now considered an intergrade between Lichenostomus View in CoL p. penicillatus (Gould, 1837) View in CoL and L. p. leilavalensis (North, 1899). See Salomonsen, 1967: 382, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 255– 256, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 608–609.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695595 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the Flinders Range , 31.25S, 138.45E ( USBGN, 1957), northeast of Port Augusta, South Australia, Australia, on 10 October 1911, by S.A. White (no. 248). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9942) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of rosinae as ‘‘Port Augusta, South Australia.’’ The holotype, from the Flinders Range, bears, in addition to White’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 540, middle fig., opp. p. 548, text p. 550), where it is confirmed as the type of rosinae. Mathews had only one additional specimen from the type locality, paratype AMNH 695594 (Mathews no. 9943), male, collected on A. Gum Creek, Flinders Range, northeast of Port Augusta, on 10 October 1911, by S.A. White (no. 336). These two specimens are also paratypes of P. p. whitei (see above). White (1912) reported on this expedition.
