Chthonicola sagittata inexpectata Mathews

Chthonicola sagittata inexpectata Mathews, 1912a: 346 (Victoria).

Now Pyrrholaemus sagittatus (Latham, 1801) . See Mayr, 1986b: 426, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 158–159.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597487 , adult male, collected at Mitcham , 37.49S, 145.12E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 6 August 1910, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5958) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Tregellas’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, this specimen also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 446, left fig., opp. p. 390, text pp. 402–406), where on p. 403 it is confirmed as the type of inexpectata. Three additional specimens were collected by Tregellas in Victoria before the publication date of C. s. inexpectata and are paratypes: AMNH 597502 (Mathews no. 8552), male, Olinda, 11 February 1911 ; AMNH 597504 (5102), female, Ringwood, 31 December 1909 ; and AMNH 597509 (8553) female, Ringwood, 14 January 1911 .

Mathews (1913a: 213) specified the type locality of this form as Mitcham, the collecting locality of the holotype. In del Hoyo et al. (2007: 591), sagigttatus is included in the genus Chthonicola .
