COMMENTS: In his original description of P. leucotis munna, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of the form as ‘‘Kangaroo Island.’’ Mathews (1912d: 99) provided the new name P. l. thomasi, munna being preoccupied by his name Ptilotis ornata munna Mathews (1912a: 410) . Paratypes are additional specimens from Kangaroo Island in Mathews’ collection that were cataloged by him before the publication date of munna on 2 April 1912: AMNH 695075 (Mathews no. 3229), immature, near Hog Bay, 30 December 1897; AMNH 695079 (10213), male, Starvation Creek, 4 December 1911, by White (no. 399); AMNH 695080 (10214), male, Waterfall Creek, 8 December 1911, by White (no. 398); AMNH 695081 (10361), immature male, Waterfall Creek, 4 December 1911, by White (443). Other specimens were collected by White in 1912, after the publication of munna. AMNH 695075, 695079, and 695080 were marked ‘‘prob. female. J. Ford.’’
