Epthianura tricolor assimilis Mathews, 1912a: 341 (Lake Way, West Australia).

Now Epthianura tricolor Gould, 1841 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 462, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 341–342.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577545 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Lake Way , 26.50S, 120.25E ( Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 509), East Murchison, Western Australia, Australia, in July 1909, by F. Lawson Whitlock. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2124) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Whitlock’s label, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Four paratypes, two of which were cataloged by Mathews at the same time as the holotype, were collected by Whitlock at Borewell, East Murchison, in August 1909: AMNH 577546 (Mathews no. 2123), 577547, 577548 (2125), and 577549.

Whitlock (1910) described the itinerary and collecting localities of his 1909 expedition to the East Murchison.
