Acanthiza iredalei hedleyi Mathews

Acanthiza iredalei hedleyi Mathews, 1912d: 78 (Meningie, South Australia).

Now Acanthiza iredalei hedleyi Mathews, 1912 . See Mayr, 1986b: 432, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 210–211.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600815 , adult male, collected in heath country near Meningie , 35.42S, 139.20E ( USBGN, 1957b), South Australia, Australia, on 28 February 1912, by S.A. White (no. 499). From the Mathews Collection (no. 8036) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the field label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 453, upper right fig., opp. p. 479, text p. 479), where it is confirmed as the type of hedleyi. There are two paratypes collected on the same date and at the same locality: AMNH 600816 (Mathews no. 8269), male, and AMNH 600817 (3493), unsexed.
