Anthus australis hartogi Mathews (in Carter and Mathews), 1917: 610 (Dirk Hartog Island).

Now Anthus australis australis Vieillot, 1818 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 738.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 572887 About AMNH , adult female, 6 October 1916 ; AMNH 572888 About AMNH , adult female, 9 October 1916 ; and AMNH 572889 About AMNH , immature sex?, 7 October 1916, all collected by Tom Carter on Dirk Hartog Island, 25°50′S, 113°03′E ( Johnstone and Storr, 1998: 413), Shark Bay, Western Australia. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection GoogleMaps .

COMMENTS: It is stated at the beginning of the Carter and Mathews (1917) paper that ‘‘Nomenclature and Remarks’’ are by Mathews. There is no indication in the original description as to how many specimens were collected or where they were deposited, only that the range of hartogi was Dirk Hartog Island. The above three syntypes had not previously been labeled as types.

Many authors include this taxon in Anthus novaeseelandiae , as a synonym of A. n. subaustralis.
