Epthianura albifrons westralensis Mathews, 1912a: 341 (Wilson’s Inlet, South-West Australia).

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577471 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Wilson Inlet , 35.00S, 117.24E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 515), Western Australia, Australia, on 20 March 1910, by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4660) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Whitlock’s label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews gave the range of this form as ‘‘ West Australia’ ’. I have found seven paratypes that were cataloged by Mathews before the 1912 publication date of the name: AMNH 577469 About AMNH (Mathews no. 5234) and AMNH 577470 About AMNH (5233), females, from Day Dawn, collected by Whitlock and obtained from WAM by Mathews ; AMNH 577472 About AMNH (4659) and AMNH 577473 About AMNH (4789), females, from Wilson Inlet, collected by Whitlock ; and AMNH 577474 About AMNH (2116), male, from Albany, AMNH 577476 About AMNH (2115), male, and AMNH 577481 About AMNH (2117), female, from Broomehill, collected by Tom Carter. The latter specimen bears a yellow ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 439, lower right fig., opp. p. 323, text pp. 324, 330). Four additional specimens, AMNH 577477–577480 About AMNH , collected by Carter at Broomehill in August and October 1910 are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog .
