Diaphorillas striatus howei Mathews

Diaphorillas striatus howei Mathews, 1911e: 100 (Kow Plains, Victoria).

Now Amytornis striatus striatus (Gould, 1840) . See Schodde, 1982: 160, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 113–114.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 598102 , adult male, collected on Kow Plains , ca. 36.00S, 144.15E, Victoria, Australia, on 11 October 1909, by F.E. Howe. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4521) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews designated as type a male with his number 4521. AMNH 598102 bears his type label with that number, and his collection label is marked ‘‘Type’’. The number ‘‘617’’ that also appears on that label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a). Paratypes are two additional specimens cataloged by Mathews at the same time: AMNH 598100 (4523) and 598101 (4522). Howe (1909) reported on this trip. Specimens taken in 1911 by Howe at Kow Plains were collected after the publication of the name.
