Megalurus gramineus goulburni Mathews View in CoL

Megalurus gramineus goulburni Mathews, 1912a: 344 View in CoL (Goulburn, New South Wales).

Now Megalurus gramineus goulburni Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 703–704.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597914 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Goulburn , 34.47S, 149.43E (Times Atlas), New South Wales, Australia, in May 1892. From the Mathews Collection (no. 7942) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number for the holotype in the original description; the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The number that Mathews wrote on his type label (7952) is incorrect. AMNH 597915 About AMNH (7943), a female from Goulburn collected in May 1892, is a paratype. These specimens were part of a collection obtained from T. Thorpe and cataloged in February 1911 ; they are the only two New South Wales specimens of M. gramineus that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection .

In addition to Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was figured in Mathews (1922a: pl. 444, opp. p. 375, text p. 376), where it is confirmed as the type of goulburni.
