Acanthiza pusilla jayi Mathews

Acanthiza pusilla jayi Mathews, 1914b: 98 (Jay Waterhole, MacDonnell Ranges, Central Australia).

Now Acanthiza apicalis whitlocki North, 1909 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 436, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 201–203.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 600593, male, and AMNH 600594, female, collected at Jay Waterhole, MacDonnell Range, Northern Territory, Australia, on 3 September 1913, by S.A. White (female no. 1695). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In designating the type, Mathews gave only the type locality in the original description. Because that does not distinguish between the above two specimens, both must be considered syntypes, even though the Mathews and Rothschild type labels were both tied on the female. I did not find them listed in the Mathews catalog, but they are the only two Jay Waterhole specimens that came to AMNH. White (1914) reported the results of his long expedition into central Australia and noted ( White, 1914: 438) the description of jayi by Mathews, based on his specimens.

White (1914: 413) described the Jay Waterhole as situated on Jay Creek, 23.52S, 133.27E (USBGN, 1957b), west of Simpson Gap in the Macdonnell Ranges.
