Malurus cyaneus henriettae Mathews

Malurus cyaneus henriettae Mathews, 1912a: 357 (Victoria).

Now Malurus cyaneus cyanochlamys Sharpe, 1881 . See Schodde, 1982: 47, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 91.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601790 , adult male, collected at Olinda , 37.51S, 145.22E ( USBGN, 1957b), Dandenong Range , Victoria, Australia, on 27 December 1910, by Thomas Henry Tregellas (no. 692). From the Mathews Collection (no. 8146) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. I was able to trace 12 paratypes in the Mathews catalog, all collected by Tregellas at Olinda: AMNH 601785 and 601786 (Mathews no. 4901, only one entry for these two specimens), males, 15 August 1908 ; AMNH 601787 (4900), male immature, 3 June 1907 ; AMNH 601791 (8145), male, 23 December 1910 ; AMNH 601792 (8555) male immature, 11 February 1911 ; AMNH 601793 (10130), male, 14 October 1911 ; AMNH 601794 , 601795 , 601796 , and 601797 (10125, 10126, 10128, 10129), males, 10 September 1911 ; AMNH 601798 (10127), female, 10 September 1911 ; and AMNH 601799 (10124) female, 14 October 1911. The number ‘‘562’’ that appears on a number of these labels is not a field number but refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a) .

Mathews (1913a: 224) specified the type locality as Olinda, the collecting locality of the holotype.
