Zonaeginthus castanotis mouki Mathews, 1912a: 427 (Queensland (Rockhampton)).

Now Taeniopygia castanotis (Gould, 1837) . See Mayr et al., 1968: 358; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 761–762; Dickinson, 2003: 733; and Payne, 2010: 357.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Queensland.’’ The following specimens are paratypes: Rockhampton , AMNH 720126 (Mathews no. 7336), AMNH 720127 (7335), males, May 1893 ; Queensland, AMNH 720129 (7332), male, 1892, AMNH 720130 (7333), male, 1894, AMNH 720131 (7331), female, 1894, all received from Thorpe. AMNH 720128 (14604), collected at Peak Downs , 25 January 1881, was not cataloged by Mathews until November 1912, after the publication of mouki on 31 January 1912 and is not considered a paratype .

T. castanotis has usually been considered a subspecies of T. guttata , but see Payne (2010: 357) for reasons to consider castanotis a separate species.
