Geobasileus reguloides nesa Mathews

Geobasileus reguloides nesa Mathews, 1920d: 106 (Bunya Mts., Queensland).

Now Acanthiza reguloides nesa (Mathews, 1920) . See Mayr, 1986b: 432, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 207–208.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600746 , unsexed, collected in the Bunya Mountains , 26.52S, 151.35E ( Storr, 1984: 180), Queensland, Australia, on 3 October 1919, by J.B. Cleland (no. 484). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The above specimen is the only specimen of this species from the Bunya Mountains that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It bears a field label marked ‘‘ Type of a. [sic] r. nesa Math. ’’, a Rothschild Collection and type label, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 452, opp. p. 464, text p. 475), where it is confirmed as the type of nesa. Mayr and Seventy (1938: 254) also listed it as the type of nesa.

Mayr (1986b: 432) synonymized this form with Acanthiza reguloides reguloides .
