Acanthiza tanami Mathews, 1912a: 349 (Northern Territory (Tanami)).

Now Acanthiza apicalis whitlocki North, 1909 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 201–203.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600595 About AMNH , adult female, collected on the Tanami Goldfield , 1300 ft, 19.58S, 129.42E ( Storr, 1977: 113), Northern Territory, Australia, on 4 March 1910, by J.P. Rogers (no. 566A). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5139) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Rogers’ label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 447, right-hand fig., opp. p. 409, text p. 414), where it is confirmed as the type of tanami . Apparently he had the single specimen.

Mayr and Serventy (1938: 264) mentioned the ‘‘unique type’’, and Mayr (1986b: 436) recognized Acanthiza apicalis tanami .
