Pachycephala australis viridior Mathews, 1912a: 316 (Victoria).

Now Eopsaltria australis australis (Shaw, 1790) View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 362–364.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 659583 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Selby , 37.55S, 145.23E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 6 June 1911, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9054) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description without indicating how many specimens he examined, but giving the range of viridior as ‘‘Victoria’’. The number ‘‘683’’ that appears on the Mathews and Tregellas labels of the holotype refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a); additionally, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Paratypes, all Tregellas specimens from Victoria, are: AMNH 659564 About AMNH (Mathews no. 1951), 659565 (8080), 659566 (8079), 659567 (9056), 659568 (8565), 659570 (10073), 659571 (10075), 659572 (10076), 659573 (9055), 659575 (10074), 659578 (9053), 659580 (9057), and 659601 (3758). Three additional specimens are probable paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 569574 About AMNH , 18 July 1900, female, and AMNH 569576 About AMNH , undated, unsexed, both collected at Olinda by Cole ; and AMNH 569604 About AMNH , male, collected at Grantville, Gippsland , in 1903, by an unknown collector. AMNH 659585 About AMNH was collected at Selby on 23 December 1911 but not cataloged by Mathews (no. 11162) until 7 March 1912, and he probably did not have it in hand when the name was published on 31 January 1912 ; I do not consider it a paratype. Other AMNH specimens from Victoria were either collected later or were never in the Mathews Collection .
