Stipiturus malachurus rothschildi Mathews, 1912a: 363 (West Australia).

Now Stipiturus malachurus westernensis A.J. Campbell, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde, 1982: 133, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 101–103.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 602963 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Albany , 35.01S, 117.54E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 503), Western Australia, Australia, on 17 May 1907, by Tom Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2372) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; the specimen bears a Mathews type label with the catalog number, but no Rothschild type label. An AMNH type label has been added. I found three paratypes in the Mathews catalog: AMNH 602964 About AMNH (2371), male, and AMNH 602972 About AMNH (2373), female, from Albany ; and AMNH 602977 About AMNH (2370), male, from Broomehill, all collected before 1910. AMNH 602966–602970 About AMNH are possible paratypes, all collected in 1910, but I did not find them cataloged to establish date of accession. Others were collected too late to have been in Mathews’ hand when the name was published in January 1912. Mathews (1913a: 230) specified the type locality of rothschildi as Albany, the collecting locality of the holotype .
