Ptilotis chrysops samueli Mathews View in CoL

Ptilotis chrysops samueli Mathews, 1912d: 99 View in CoL (Ranges fifty miles north of Adelaide, South Australia).

Now Lichenostomus chrysops samueli (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 232–233, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 597–598.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694637 About AMNH , adult male, collected 50 miles northeast of Adelaide , 34.56S, 138.36E (Times Atlas), low ranges, South Australia, Australia, on 3 April 1912, by S.A. White (no. 675). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13094) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of samueli as ‘‘ South Australia.’’ The type bears White’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Its locality must be close to the Barossa Range (Kaiser Stuhl-Pewsey Vale highlands) section of the central Mount Lofty Range (R. Schodde, personal commun.). Other South Australian specimens in Mathews’ hand at that time are paratypes. Paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 694633 About AMNH (Mathews no. 13098), male, 22 March ; AMNH 694634 About AMNH (13097), female, 20 March ; AMNH 694635 About AMNH (13095), female, 24 March ; AMNH 694636 About AMNH (13096) female, 22 March, all collected at Myponga in 1912 .
