Megalurus gramineus thomasi Mathews View in CoL
Megalurus gramineus thomasi Mathews, 1912a: 344 View in CoL (Lake Muir, West Australia).
Now Megalurus gramineus thomasi Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 703–704.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597889 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Lake Muir , 34.28S, 116.35E (Times Atlas), Western Australia, Australia, on 24 April 1911, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9740) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, and the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels, as well as Mathews’ yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label. It was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 444, opp. p. 375, text p. 377), where it is confirmed as the type of thomasi, but the date was incorrectly given as 26 April 1911. None of the April specimens in AMNH taken by Carter was collected on the 26th. While AMNH 597885–597893 are all Mathews specimens collected by Carter at Lake Muir in March, April, and December 1911, the holotype was the only specimen that Mathews entered in his catalog. Thus, the status of these additional specimens cannot be determined. It is particularly unlikely that Mathews received the December specimens before the publication of his ‘‘Reference-List’’ in January 1912.
