Acanthiza uropygialis murchisoni Mathews
Acanthiza uropygialis murchisoni Mathews, 1912a: 350 (West Australia (East Murchison)).
Now Acanthiza uropygialis Gould, 1838 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 439, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 206.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600901 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the East Murchison , Western Australia, Australia, on 2 October 1909, by F.L. Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3996) via the Rothschild Collection.
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.
There are five paratypes cataloged at AMNH, all collected in the East Murchison in 1909 by Whitlock: AMNH 600902 About AMNH (Mathews no. 4000), male nestling, 21 October (cataloged by Mathews as 28 October) ; AMNH 600903 About AMNH (3997), female, 28 October ; AMNH 600904 About AMNH (3999), nestling, 2 October ; AMNH 600905 About AMNH (3998), sex?, 29 October (I did not find this specimen in the collection) ; and AMNH 600907 About AMNH (3995), female, 29 August. There are two additional probable paratypes, but I did not find them in the Mathews catalog and do not know when he acquired them: AMNH 600906 About AMNH , male, 20 August , and AMNH 600908 About AMNH , female, 30 July, both from the East Murchison .
AMNH 600906, adult male, collected at Lake Way, East Murchison, on 20 August 1909 by F.L. Whitlock bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label. Mathews (1922a: 451) erroneously said that the figured bird ( Mathews, 1922a: pl. 450, one of two left figs., opp. p. 444, text p. 451) was the type of Acanthiza u. murchisoni; however, the ‘‘Figured’’ label was apparently tied on the wrong bird, as the holotype of murchinsoni was designated by citing its Mathews’ catalog number in the original description. The holotype does not bear a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label.
On 2 October 1909, Whitlock (1910: 186– 187) was at Milly Pool , ca. 20 mi northwest of Wiluna, 26.37S, 120.12E (Times Atlas) GoogleMaps ; he gave a detailed description of this locality.
