Malurus lamberti morgani S.A. White

Malurus lamberti morgani S.A. White in Mathews, 1912g: 126 (Lake Gairdner, South Australia).

Now Malurus lamberti assimilis North, 1901 . See Schodde, 1982: 91, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 85–87.

Syntype: AMNH 602150, adult male, collected at the south end of Lake Gairdner, 31.35S, 136.00E (USBGN, 1957b), South Australia, Australia, on 10 September 1912, by S.A. White (no. 835). From the Mathews Collection (no. 15149) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews (1912g: 126) credit- ed this description to White, but no type was designated. White (1913: 28), when citing this description, referred to ‘‘all specimens procured’’. This is the only White specimen from Lake Gairdner that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and it bears a Mathews type label with his catalog number. There is one syntype in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.)
