Cinclosoma punctatum dovei Mathews

Cinclosoma punctatum dovei Mathews, 1912a: 330 (Tasmania) .

Now Cinclosoma punctatum dovei Mathews, 1912 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 418–419.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585167 , adult male, collected in Tasmania, Australia, in December 1862, by Leach. From the Mathews Col­ lection (no. 4371) via the Rothschild collection.

COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the holotype was given in the original description; it bears Mathews Collection and type labels and a Rothschild type label. The collector was Richard H.W. Leach ( Whittell, 1954: 417), whose collection was cataloged by Mathews in 1910. The number ‘‘515’’ that appears on the Mathews label refers to Cinclosoma punctatum in Mathews’ (1908) Handlist.

A second Leach specimen is a paratype: AMNH 585168 (Mathews no. 4372), adult female, collected in Tasmania in December 1862. Other specimens of dovei from the Mathews Collection are undated.
