Samuela cinnamomea samueli Mathews

Samuela cinnamomea samueli Mathews,1916: 60 (Gawler Ranges, South Australia).

Now Cinclosoma cinnamomeum cinnamomeum

Gould. See Hartert, 1931: 49, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 424–425.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585192 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Sandford’s Paddock, Gawler Ranges , South Australia, on 3 September 1912, by Samuel A. White (no. 1438). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews only said that the type was from the Gawler Ranges, without giving any further data. This is the only specimen from the Gawler Ranges that came to AMNH from the Mathews Collection and I did not find it in the Mathews catalog. It is marked ‘‘S.c. samueli Type’’ on the S.A. White label but has no Mathews type label or his ‘‘Figured’’ label—only a Rothschild type label. Hartert (1931: 49) listed it as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype should there prove to have been other specimens in Mathews’ type series.

Mathews (1930: 558) listed this form as a synomym of his Samuela cinnamomea nea , which it is not, as emphasized by Hartert (1931: 49). Then he further muddied the water by saying that it was figured in plate 426 in Mathews (1921: opposite p. 198). However, the two birds depicted in plate 426 are from Day Dawn and Borewell (5 Bore Well). Day Dawn is the type locality of nea, and the male figured in plate 426 is indeed the holotype of that form. Apparently the specimen from the Gawler Ranges was not illustrated.

Cinclosoma cinnamomeum samueli was recognized by Deignan (1964a: 233), but most recent authors have synonymized it with the nominate subspecies, as is implicitly done by Schodde and Mason (1999: 424– 425).

Cinclosoma castaneothorax nea [sic] Mathews

Cinclosoma castaneothorax nea [sic] Mathews,

1912a: 331 (West Australia (Day Dawn)).

Now Cinclosoma castaneothorax marginatum

Sharpe, 1883. See Deignan, 1964a: 234, and

Schodde and Mason, 1999: 422–423.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585171 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Day Dawn , 278319S, 1178539E (Times Atlas), Western Australia, Australia,

on 11 July 1903, by ‘‘F.L.’’ (no. 244). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5147) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the holotype was given in the original description, but there was no indication of the number of specimens examined. One paratype was cataloged at the same time: AMNH 585172, female, Day Dawn, 1400 ft, 11 July 1903, collected by ‘‘F.L’’ (no. 243). Both of these specimens were collected by F. Lawson Whitlock ( Whittell, 1954: 414, 765) and were obtained from the WAM by Mathews. The numbers ‘‘5809’’ on the male and ‘‘5811’’ on the female are probably WAM numbers. The holotype bears an original label, both Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating its use as the model for plate 426 in Mathews (1921: opposite p. 198, text on p. 197). Mathews (1930: 558) incorrectly listed this form as having been figured in plate 425.
