Acanthiza pusilla arno Mathews

Acanthiza pusilla arno Mathews, 1912c: 44 (Arno Bay, Eyre’s Peninsula, South Australia).

Now Acanthiza apicalis apicalis Gould, 1847 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 201–203.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600572 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Arno Bay , 33.53S, 136.31E (Times Atlas), Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia, on 7 September 1911, by S.A. White (no. 117). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9630) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to White’s field label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. A second Eyre Peninsula specimen was cataloged by Mathews (no. 9631) as having been collected by White on 28 August 1911. However, there are two such specimens collected at Lake Wangary , Eyre Peninsula. These are paratypes of A. p. arno: AMNH 600573 About AMNH and 600574. Two additional specimens from the Eyre Peninsula are probable paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 600570 About AMNH , from Warunda Creek, collected on 6–16 October 1909 by J.W. Mellor ; and AMNH 600571 About AMNH , collected at Port Lincoln on 3 September 1909. There are five additional paratypes in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.) .

As in the previous taxon, Mayr (1986b: 435) synonymized arno with A.apicalis albiventris ; however, the type seems to agree most closely with A. apicalis apicalis , as indicated by Schodde and Mason (1999: 201–203).
