Acanthiza iredalei Mathews

Acanthiza iredalei Mathews, 1911d: 97 (Lake Way, West Australia).

Now Acanthiza iredalei iredalei Mathews, 1911 . See Mayr, 1986b: 433, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 210–211.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600794 , male, collect- ed at Lake Way , 26.50S, 120.25E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 509), East Murchison, Western Australia, Australia, on 26 July 1909, by F.L. Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4007) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 451, middle fig., opp. p. 455, text p. 456), where it is confirmed as the type of iredalei . A second specimen collected by Whitlock at Lake Way apparently was not cataloged by Mathews but should be considered a paratype: AMNH 600795, nestling, collected on 19 August 1909.
