Geobasileus reguloides cobbora Mathews

Geobasileus reguloides cobbora Mathews, 1915a: 130 (Cobbora, New South Wales).

Now Acanthiza reguloides reguloides Vigors and Horsfield, 1827 . See Mayr, 1986b: 432, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 207–208.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600696 , adult male, collected near Cobbora , 32.04S, 149.15E ( USBGN, 1957b), New South Wales, Australia, on 24 June 1914, by T.P. Austin. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews apparently had a single specimen from Cobbora. This specimen does not bear a Mathews or Rothschild type label, but both the original Austin label and the Rothschild label (printed ‘‘Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews) have been marked ‘‘Type’’. It had not previously been included in the AMNH type collection, although it is listed as the type by Mayr and Serventy (1938: 254). Cobbora, or Cobborah, was the site of a property owned by Austin in central New South Wales east of Dubbo.
