Acanthiza chrysorrhoa addenda Mathews

Acanthiza chrysorrhoa addenda Mathews, 1912c: 44 (Port Augusta).

Now Acanthiza chrysorrhoa leighi Ogilvie-Grant, 1909 . See Mayr, 1986b: 437–438, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 212–213.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601091 , adult female, collected northwest of Port Augusta , 32.30S, 137.46E (Times Atlas), South Australia, Australia, on 7 October 1911, by S.A. White (no. 353). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10252) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. It bears in addition to the field label both Mathews and Rothschild type labels. A second specimen was collected by White 19 mi southwest of Port Augusta on 23 August 1912, after the 2 April 1912 publication date of the name.

Mayr (1986b: 438) regarded the type locality of nominate A. c. chrysorrhoa as New South Wales and recognized addenda from Victoria and South Australia. Schodde and Mason (1999: 437–438), having found that the holotype of nominate chrysorrhoa was of the Western Australian form, confirmed that the type locality was in fact King George Sound. They used the next available name, Acanthiza chrysorrhoa leighi , for the southern New South Wales birds and includ- ed addenda in its range.
