Acanthorhynchus superciliosus wilsoni Mathews, 1912a: 398 (Wilson’s Inlet, South-West Australia).

Now Acanthorhynchus superciliosus Gould, 1837 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 438, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 328, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 583.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 693527 View Materials , adult male, collected at Wilson Inlet , 35.00S, 117.22E ( USBGN, 1957), Western Australia, Australia, on 28 April 1910, by F.L. W[hitlock]. From the Mathews Collection (no. 4834) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘South- West Australia.’’ The holotype bears in addition to Whitlock’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 519, upper fig., opp. p. 346, text p. 347), where it is confirmed as the type of wilsoni. Paratypes in AMNH: collected by Whitlock at Wilson

Inlet in March–May 1910, three males, nine females, AMNH 693526 View Materials ( Mathews no. 5486), AMNH 693528 View Materials (4833), AMNH 693529 View Materials (4832), AMNH 693531 View Materials (4839), AMNH 693533 View Materials (5488), AMNH 693534 View Materials (4836), AMNH 693535 View Materials (4837), AMNH 693536 View Materials (4835), AMNH 693537 View Materials (4838), AMNH 693538 View Materials (5489), AMNH 693539 View Materials (5487), AMNH 693540 View Materials (4670) ; collected by T. Carter at Albany, AMNH 693546 View Materials (3057), male, 23 January 1905 ; AMNH 693547 View Materials (3056), male, 15 May 1907 ; AMNH 693550 View Materials (3058), female, 26 December 1904 ; collected by Whitlock in Denmark forest, 15–16 May 1910, males, AMNH 693553 View Materials (5485), AMNH 693554 View Materials (5484). The following are probable paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: collected by Whitlock, Southwest Australia, sea level, AMNH 693520 View Materials , female, 15 December 1908 ; Wilson Inlet, AMNH 693530 View Materials , male, 11 March 1910, AMNH 693532 View Materials , female, 1 March 1910 ; collected by Carter, Albany, AMNH 693544 View Materials , male, 31 January 1910, AMNH 693548 View Materials , immature male, 27 January 1910, AMNH 693549 View Materials , immature male, 8 January 1910, AMNH 693551 View Materials , immature female, 6 January 1910. Other Mathews specimens in AMNH were either collected after the publication of wilsoni on 31 January 1912 or not dated. One of Mathews’ specimens, no. 4832, male, Wilson Inlet, 24 April 1910, did not come to AMNH, and if found is also a paratype .
