Falcunculus frontatus iredalei Mathews

Falcunculus frontatus iredalei Mathews, 1912b (April) : 47 (Ringwood, Victoria).

Now Falcunculus frontatus (Latham, 1801) . See Mayr, 1953, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 466– 467, and Boles, 2007: 409.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 657205 , adult male, collected at Ringwood , 37.51S, 145.13E (Times Atlas), Victoria, Australia, on 16 July 1910. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1372) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. It bears an original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. According to Mathews’ catalog, it was collected by Thomas H. Tregellas (original label in his hand). Paratypes are: AMNH 657207 (Mathews no. 9052), female, Ringwood, 7 May 1911 ; AMNH 657208 (4907), female, Ringwood , 15 June 1907 ; AMNH 657225 (8072), male, Olinda , 24 December 1910 ; AMNH 657230 (8071), female, Bayswater , 1 November 1910, all collected by Tregellas ; and AMNH 657236 ( Mathews no. 2615), male, Ringwood , 5 December 1908, collected by L.G. Chandler. Six additional specimens are possible paratypes, but I was unable to find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when they came into his possession: AMNH 657215 , female, Auburn, 16 May 1900, collected by C.F. Cole ; AMNH 657216 and AMNH 657217 , males, AMNH 657218 , female, Frankston , 20 June 1908 ; AMNH 657227 , male, and AMNH 657228 , female, Olinda , 9 May 1908, all collected by L.G. Chandler.
