Acanthiza lineata goulburni Mathews

Acanthiza lineata goulburni Mathews, 1912e: 93 (New South Wales).

Now Acanthiza lineata lineata Gould, 1838 . See Mayr, 1986b: 442, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 216–217.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600980 , adult female, collected at Goulburn , 34.47S, 149.43E (Times Atlas), New South Wales, Australia, in December 1898, by T. Thorpe. From the Mathews Collection (no. 7639) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. This specimen does not bear a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, but Mathews (1922a: pl. 450, opp. p. 444, text p. 445) said that the figured bird was from Goulburn, collected in December 1898. There are no other specimens from Goulburn and no other specimen bears the yellow label; therefore, the holotype was illustrated. He received three additional specimens of lineata from Thorpe at the same time: paratypes AMNH 600981 (Mathews no. 7638), male, and AMNH 600982 (7637), female, both from Tarago, April 1899 ; and AMNH 600987 (7636), female from ‘‘Homebush’’, October 1890 .

Mathews (1913a: 216) specified the type locality as Goulburn, the collecting locality of the holotype.
