Calamanthus campestris ethelae Mathews

Calamanthus campestris ethelae Mathews, 1912a: 337 (Eyre’s Peninsula, South Australia).

Now Calamanthus campestris campestris (Gould, 1841) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 154–157.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 587927 , adult male, collected on the east side of Marble Range , 34.27S, 135.30E ( USBGN, 1957b), Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia, on 31 August 1911, by S.A. White (no. 73). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9646) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to S.A. White’s field label, the specimen bears Rothschild and Mathews type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was figured in Mathews (1922a: pl. 435, opp. p. 288, text p. 290), where it is confirmed as the type of Calamanthus campestris ethelae .

Three paratypes were cataloged by Mathews at the same time: AMNH 587928 (Mathews no. 9645), male, 28 August 1911 ; AMNH 587929 (9644), immature female, 28 August 1911 ; and AMNH 587930 (9647), adult female, 31 August 1911, all collected by S.A. White in the same locality as the holotype. There are two paratypes in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.) .

Mayr (1986b: 429) recognized ethelae, but Schodde and Mason (1999: 154–157) includ- ed the Eyre Peninsula populations within C. c. campestris .
