[ Certhionyx variegatus neglecta Mathews ]

Mathews (1916a: 62) named C. v. neglecta , with a type from New South Wales. No Mathews specimens of C. variegatus from New South Wales came to AMNH and it is not clear that Mathews actually had specimens. Mathews (1924: 402) mentioned that MacGillivray had found it in New South Wales and that S.A. White had found it throughout the interior.
