Pardalotus punctatus interjectus Mathews

Pardalotus punctatus interjectus Mathews, 1912a: 389 (Victoria) .

Now Pardalotus punctatus punctatus (Shaw, 1792) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 203, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 122–124 (and references therein), and Woinarski, 2008: 400.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 698738 , adult male, collected at Ringwood , 37.51S, 145.13E (Times Atlas), Victoria, Australia, on 24 July 1909, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9461) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, where it is said to have been collected by Tregellas. In addition to Tregellas’ original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the specimen also bears a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923b: pl. 507, opp. p. 173, text p. 186), where it is confirmed as the type of interjectus. Mathews gave the range of interjectus as ‘‘ East Victoria.’’ The following specimens from the Mathews Collection , cataloged before the 31 January 1912 publication date of the name, are paratypes: AMNH 698734 (Mathews no. 4940), male, Frankston, 9 April 1909 ; AMNH 698735 (4750), female, Beaconsfield, 6 August 1909 ; AMNH 698736 (8653), male, Ringwood, 25 February 1911 ; AMNH 698741 (8563), female, Ringwood, 24 July 1909, ‘‘Figured’’ in the same plate as the holotype ; AMNH 698742 , AMNH 698743 (8564), males, Olinda, 28 November 1907 ; AMNH 698747 (10110), female, Olinda, 10 September 1911 ; AMNH 698749 (8144), female, Olinda, 24 December 1910 ; AMNH 698751 (4751), female immature, Olinda , 30 January 1909. The following are probable paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 698739 , male, and AMNH 698740 , female, both from Ringwood, 11 November 1907 ; AMNH 698750 , female, Olinda, 1 February 1909 ; AMNH 698764 , female, S. Camberwell, 16 April 1902 .
