Epthianura albifrons tasmanica Mathews, 1912a: 340 (Tasmania).

Now Epthianura albifrons (Jardine and Selby, 1828) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 461, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 346.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577520 About AMNH , adult male, collected in Tasmania, Australia, in November 1874, by Richard H.W. Leach. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4586) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the Mathews Collection label, the holotype also bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. There is one paratype: AMNH 577521 (Mathews no. 4632), female, collected in November 1874 by Leach.

Mayr (1986b: 461) recognized tasmanica but doubted its validity; Schodde and Mason (1999: 346) considered E. albifrons monotypic.
