Cinclosoma punctatum neglectum Mathews

Cinclosoma punctatum neglectum Mathews, 1912a: 330 (Victoria) .

Now Cinclosoma punctatum punctatum (Shaw, 1794) . See Hartert, 1931: 47, Deignan, 1964a: 231, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 418–419.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585155 , adult female, collected at Frankston , 388089S, 1458079E (Times Atlas), Victoria, Australia, on 13 March 1909, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5073) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the holotype was cited in the original description. A second Tregellas specimen, from Ringwood, Victoria, was cataloged at the same time. This paratype is AMNH 585157 (Mathews no. 5072). There are two additional AMNH specimens from the Mathews Collection that are identifiable as paratypes: AMNH 585154 (2006), male, Ferntree Gully, Victoria, 1 January 1909, collector not noted; and AMNH 585164 (2007), female, Victoria, January 1890, coll. by Howe. Two specimens collected by Cole at Lang Lang, Victoria, in 1908 are not paratypes, because that collection did not go to Mathews until 1914 ( Whittell, 1954: 158). AMNH 585152 and 585156 were collected early enough, but I was unable to ascertain when they came into Mathews’ possession. Mathews (1930: 556) synonymized neglectum with nominate punctatum .
