Geobasileus chrysorrhous normantoni Mathews

Geobasileus chrysorrhous normantoni Mathews, 1913e: 76 (Normanton, Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland).

Now Acanthiza chrysorrhoa normantoni (Mathews, 1913) . See Mayr, 1986b: 437, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 212–213.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601093 , adult male, collected at Normanton , 17.40S, 141.05E ( Storr, 1984: 186), Queensland, Australia, on 2 October 1913, by Robin Kemp (no. 3235). From the Mathews Collection (no. 18231) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said that the type was collected by Robin Kemp on 2 October 1913. The above specimen is the only Kemp specimen collect- ed on that date. Although Mathews did not cite his catalog number in the original description, it is written on the Mathews Collection label, as is ‘‘Type’’; however, the specimen bears only a Rothschild type label. The number ‘‘574’’ on Mathews’ label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a).

The holotype is one of a long series collected by Kemp at Normanton. It was cataloged by Mathews on 16 December 1913 as a single specimen, and the name was published on 29 December 1913. All of the remaining specimens were collected later and would not have been in Mathews’ hands at the time the name was published.
