Acanthiza chrysorrhoa perksi Mathews

Acanthiza chrysorrhoa perksi Mathews, 1912a: 351 (South Australia).

Now Acanthiza chrysorrhoa leighi Ogilvie-Grant, 1909 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 212–213.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601065 , adult male, collected on the Mount Lofty Ranges , 35.00S, 138.50E ( USBGN, 1957b), South Australia, Australia, on 25 July 191l, by S.A. White (no. 181). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9303) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. It was the only specimen of chrysorrhoa cataloged at that time, and there were no other Mathews specimens from South Australia that came to AMNH. In addition to White’s label, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels.

Mathews (1913a: 218) specified the type locality as the Mount Lofty Ranges, the collecting locality of the holotype. Mayr (1986b: 438) recognized sandlandi and synonymized perksi with it. Schodde and Mason (1999: 213) synonymized sandlandi (including perksi) with leighi.
