Acanthiza nana mathewsi Hartert

Acanthiza nana mathewsi Hartert, 1910b: 82 (Springvale) .

Now Acanthiza nana modesta De Vis, 1905 . See Mayr, 1986b: 441, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 214–215.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 600959 , adult male, collected at Springvale , 37.57S, 145.09E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 23 October 1897, by A.G. Campbell (no. 76A). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert gave Campbell’s unique number of the holotype in the original description. He noted that he had examined Victorian specimens from Box Hill , Castlemaine , Mulgrave River (sic), and Springvale in the Rothschild Museum and from Saddleworth in the Mathews Collection. The Mulgrave River is in Queensland ; the labels give the locality as Mulgrave (37.55S, 145.12E, USBGN 1957 ). Paratypes from the listed localities are: AMNH 600962–600966 and 600968–600971. AMNH 600971 is also the holotype of Acanthiza nana laetior Mayr and Serventy and AMNH 600970, a paratype (see below) .
