[ Acanthiza dovei Mathews ]

Mathews (1922a: 415) listed Acanthiza dovei as a new name for Acanthiza ewingii Gould, 1844 , but I have been unable to find any explanation of why Mathews thought a new name was needed. The bird he listed as figured, an Ashby specimen from Hogan’s Track, Tasmania, is AMNH 600678, but Mathews does not indicate that it has any type standing. The type of Acanthiza ewingii is that of Gould; A. dovei , as a replacement name, shares the same type.
