Colluricincla harmonica zamba Mathews

Colluricincla harmonica zamba Mathews, 1912b: 46 (Kangaroo Island, South Australia).

Now Colluricincla harmonica harmonica (Latham, 1801) . See Mayr, 1967: 44, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462, and Boles, 2007: 432–433.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 656591 adult male, collected at Waterfall Creek , Kangaroo Island, 35.50S, 137.06E ( USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 4 December 1911, by Samuel A. White (no. 389). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10183) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. The specimen bears, in addition to White’s field label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923a: pl. 478, opp. p. 278, text p. 280), where it is confirmed as the type of zamba. Only one additional Kangaroo Island specimen cataloged by Mathews before the name was published on 2 April 1912 came to AMNH: paratype AMNH 656593 (Mathews no. 10182), female, collected on 1 December 1911 by S.A. White (no. 388). There are perhaps additional specimens in SAMA.
