Acanthiza chrysorrhoa sandlandi Mathews

Acanthiza chrysorrhoa sandlandi Mathews, 1912a: 351 (Victoria).

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

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601067 , adult male, collected at Blackburn , 37.49S, 145.10E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 9 July 1910, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1994) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the field label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. AMNH 601068 (Mathews no. 1993), male, 12 December 1908, and AMNH 601069 (5095) male, 9 March 1909, both collected at Frankston by Tregellas, are paratypes.

Mathews (1913a: 218) specified the type locality of sandlandi as Blackburn, the collecting locality of the holotype. Mayr (1986b: 437) recognized sandlandi and synonymized leighi with nominate chrysorrhoa . Schodde and Mason (1999: 213) recognized leighi and synonymized sandlandi with it.
