Malurus leuconotus perplexus Mathews, 1912a: 359 (West Australia (Day Dawn)).

Now Malurus leucopterus leuconotus Gould, 1865 View in CoL . See Schodde, 1982: 115, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 99.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 602417 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Day Dawn , 1400 ft, 27.29S, 117.51E ( USBGN, 1957b), Australia, on 12 May 1903, by ‘‘ F.L. ’’ (5 F. Lawson Whitlock, no 91). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5246) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. Although this specimen was collected by Whitlock, according to Mathews’ catalog it was obtained from the WAM in Perth ; the ‘‘B.M. No. 5509’’ that appears on the field label is from that museum. There are three probable paratypes: AMNH 602418 About AMNH , male, Day Dawn , 5 June 1903, Whitlock number 197, WAM number 5633 ; AMNH 602419 About AMNH , male immature, Day Dawn, 5 June 1903, Whitlock number 202, WAM number 5630 (only one male collected on 5 June 1903 was listed in Mathews’ catalog as no. 5248) ; and AMNH 602420 About AMNH , male, Day Dawn, 11 July 1903, Whitlock number 268, WAM number 5849 (I did not find this last specimen listed in Mathews’ catalog) .
