Ashbyia lovensis whitei Mathews
Ashbyia lovensis whitei Mathews, 1916c: 90 (Mary’s Well, 12 miles east of Todmoreden, Central Australia).
Now Ashbyia lovensis (Ashby, 1911) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 464, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 347.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 577658 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Mary’s Well , 12 mi east of Todmorden Station (5 Todmoreden), 27.04S, 134.49E (Times Atlas), South Australia, Australia, on 6 September 1914, by S.A. White (no. 1677). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews did not designate a type in the original description or state how many specimens he had. Two specimens, a male and a female, came to AMNH from the Mathews Collection. The above specimen bears the original S.A. White label marked ‘‘whitei Type’’ by Mathews, a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews’’, a Rothschild type label filled in by a hand unknown, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 441, left fig., opp. p. 350, text p. 350). The adult male described on p. 350 and figured, and bearing the above data, is said to be the type of whitei , thus designating it the lectotype.
The second specimen, a paralectotype, is AMNH 577659, adult female, collected at Mary’s Well, 12 mi east of Todmorden on 6 September 1914 by S.A. White (no. 1678). In addition to White’s label, the specimen bears a Rothschild Collection label printed ‘‘Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews’’ and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 441, right fig., opp. p. 350, text pp. 350–351), where it is not said to be the type of whitei . There are two paralectotypes in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.).
There is a discrepancy regarding the date on these specimens, as White collected in northwestern South Australia only in July and August 1914. Both of the specimens in AMNH are clearly dated 6 September 1914 and the labels were written by White. It is possible that these specimens were collected a few days into September by J.P. Rogers, whom White (1915a: 707) had taken with him as taxidermist. White (1915a: 722) mentioned that he was driven from Todmorden to Oodnadatta, where he caught the train and was at home by 3 September. Rogers perhaps remained behind at Todmorden to pack and ship the specimens.
