Malurus splendens riordani Mathews
Malurus splendens riordani Mathews, 1912f: 119 (Yalgoo, Mid-Westralia) .
Now Malurus splendens splendens (Quoy and Gaimard, 1830) View in CoL . See Schodde, 1982: 57, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 93.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 602049 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Wururga , 28.24S, 116.29E (Times Atlas), Yalgoo Gold Field, 1050 ft, Western Australia, Australia, on 24 August 1903, by ‘‘ F.L. ’’ (5 F. Lawson Whitlock, no. 501). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5250) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. The number ‘‘6392’’ on Whitlock’s label is probably a WAM number, from which institution Mathews obtained the specimen. The type also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it served as the model for the male in Mathews (1922e: pl. 460, top right, opp. p 61, text p. 71), where it is confirmed as the type of riordani.
A second specimen cataloged by Mathews at the same time is a paratype: AMNH 602053 (5249), immature male, from the same locality, collected on 16 August 1903 by Whitlock (no. 505). It bears the probable WAM number 6394. AMNH 602050– 602052, three additional adult male Whitlock specimens from the type locality and collect- ed on 19 and 20 August 1903, are possible paratypes, but I was unable to find them in Mathews’ catalog. These three are each marked with a ‘‘D’’ in blue crayon.
