Description

Climacteris erythrops olinda Mathews

Climacteris erythrops olinda Mathews, 1916c: 91 (Olinda, Victoria).

Now Climacteris erythrops Gould, 1841. See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 73–74, and Noske, 2007b: 658.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 685154, adult female, collected at Olinda, 37.51S, 145.22E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 24 December 1910, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 8083) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave the type locality as Olinda and the collecting date of the type as 24 December 1910 but made no mention of range or number of specimens examined. The above holotype is the only Mathews specimen in AMNH collected at Olinda on 24 December 1910. The number ‘‘706’’ on Tregellas’ label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). There are four additional Mathews specimens from Olinda that I consider paratypes, although I found only one of them in Mathews’ catalog. The Mathews Collection was essentially complete by 1914 when ‘‘The war of 1914 ended collecting as all my men joined the forces.’’ (Mathews, 1942: 54). Paratypes are: AMNH 685150, male, 6 June 1909, collected by L.G. Chandler; AMNH 685151 (Mathews no. 5115), male, 6 June 1909, collected by Tregellas; AMNH 685152, female, 11 April 1911, collected by Tregellas; AMNH 685153, female, 7 June 1909, collected by Chandler. AMNH 685151 and 685153 bear Mathews ‘‘Figured’’ labels indicating that they were illustrated in Mathews (1923b: pl. 502, opp. p. 117, text pp. 117–118).
