Ptilotis penicillata mellori Mathews

Ptilotis penicillata mellori Mathews, 1912a: 412 (Victoria) .

Now Lichenostomus penicillatus penicillatus (Gould, 1837) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 381, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 255–256, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 608–609.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 695638 View Materials , adult male, collected at Templestowe , 37.45S, 145.07E ( USBGN, 1957), Victoria, on 10 June 1901, by Thomas H. Tregellas (no. 346). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5123) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Tregellas’ original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 540, bottom fig., opp. p. 548, text p. 549), where it is confirmed as the type of mellori. Mathews (1913a: 281) listed the type locality as ‘‘Templestown,’’ later correcting it ( Mathews, 1924: 549) to Templestowe. The following specimens are paratypes: AMNH 695614 (Mathews no. 8152), unsexed, Frankston, 20 March 1908; AMNH 695615 (6275), male, Parwan, 14 August 1910; AMNH 695629 (5949), male juvenile, Auburn, 7 September 1910; AMNH 695630 (5950), female juvenile, Auburn, 13 September 1910, described in Mathews (1924: 550–551); AMNH 695639 (5122), female, Templestowe, 10 June 1901. The following specimens were collected early enough to have been in Mathews’ hand when mellori was named, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and they could have reached him later: AMNH 695610, male, Frankston, 9 April 1910; AMNH 695611, male, Frankston, 19 December 1909; AMNH 695612, female, Frankston, 17 April 1908; AMNH 695613, female, Frankston, 21 April 1908; AMNH 695628, male immature, Auburn, 6 July 1905. Other Victorian specimens in AMNH were either collected too late or were never in Mathews’ collection.
