Zonaeginthus guttatus philordi Mathews

Zonaeginthus guttatus philordi Mathews, 1912a: 427 (Victoria) .

Now Stagonopleura guttata Shaw, 1796 . See Mayr et al., 1968: 355; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 747; Dickinson, 2003: 732; and Payne, 2010: 352.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 720009 , adult [male], collected at Frankston , 38.08S, 145.07E ( USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 17 April 1908, by T. Tregellas (no. 401). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5098) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ There are two definite paratypes in AMNH: Bayswater, Victoria, AMNH 720013 (Mathews no. 8149), male, AMNH 720014 (8150), female, both collected 1 January 1911 by T. Tregellas. I also consider a third specimen a paratype: AMNH 720010, male, Frankston, 17 April 1908, by Tregellas. This last specimen was collected on the same day as the holotype, but apparently not cataloged. Mathews frequently only made one entry in his catalog when he had more than one specimen bearing the same data. There is another possible paratype, although I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when he acquired it: AMNH 720008, male immature, Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, 16 April 1911, collected by S.A. and E.R. White (no. 1493).

Mathews (1925, 12 (4): 158–162) discussed this species in the genus Tavistocka .

Oreostruthus fuliginosus hagenensis Mayr and Gilliard Oreostruthus fuliginosus hagenensis Mayr and Gilliard, 1954: 372 (Mount Hagen, Central Highlands, Mandated Territory of New Guinea). Now Oreostruthus fuliginosus hagenensis Mayr and Gilliard, 1954. See Mayr et al., 1968: 356, Coates, 1990: 336, Dickinson, 2003: 732, and Payne, 2010: 351–352.

COMMENTS: Mayr and Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that a second specimen was collected. The paratype is AMNH 706019, female?, Mount Hagen, base camp, 8600 ft, 30 June 1950, by E.T. Gilliard.
