Acanthiza lineata chandleri Mathews

Acanthiza lineata chandleri Mathews, 1912a: 349 (Olinda, Victoria).

Now Acanthiza lineata lineata Gould, 1838 . See Mayr, 1986b: 442, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 216–217.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601022 , adult male, collected at Olinda , 37.51S, 145.22E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 7 September 1908, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1991) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, and he noted in the catalog that it was from Tregellas. In addition to Tregellas’ label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews gave the range of chandleri as ‘‘Victoria’’. The following specimens from the Mathews Collection were cataloged by him before the date of publication of the name and are paratypes: AMNH 601020 (Mathews no. 4950), male, 17 October 1909, Beaconsfield ; AMNH 601024 (10118), male, Olinda, 8 July 1911 ; AMNH 601026 and 601027 (9083 and 9084), females, Olinda, 13 May 1911 ; AMNH 601029 (8155), female, Olinda, 25 March 1911 ; AMNH 601030 (5093), female, Ringwood, 12 March 1910 ; and AMNH 601031 (5092), female, Frankston, 9 March 1909. Four additional specimens are probable paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews catalog: AMNH 601019 , male, Beaconsfield, 2 July 1910 ; AMNH 601021 , male, Beaconsfield, 26 June 1909 ; AMNH 601025 , female, Olinda, 25 March 1911 ; and AMNH 601032 , male, Warburton, June 1899 .

Mayr (1986b: 442) recognized A. l. chandleri; Schodde and Mason (1999: 216–217) included it in the nominate subspecies.
