Pardalotus striatus kingi Mathews

Pardalotus striatus kingi Mathews, 1912a: 387 (King Island).

Now Pardalotus striatus striatus (Gmelin, 1789) . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 128–131, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698850 , adult male, collected on King Island , 39.50S, 144.00E ( USBGN, 1957), Bass Strait , Tasmania, Australia, on 11 November 1902. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2878) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of kingi as King Island. The holotype bears the original field label with no collector’s name, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. A second Mathews specimen, AMNH 698851, has a label noting ‘‘Data lost, possibly King Island,’’ collected in 1888. Because of the doubt about the collecting locality, I have not considered this specimen a paratype.
