Climacteris picumnus victoriae Mathews

Climacteris picumnus victoriae Mathews, 1912a: 382 (Victoria) .

Now Climacteris picumnus victoriae Mathews, 1912 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 78, and Noske, 2007b: 659.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 685026 , adult male, collected at Parwan , 37.42S, 144.28E ( USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 19 May 1910, by Thomas H. Tregellas (no. 107). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5112) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of victoriae as Victoria. There are seven Mathews specimens from Victoria in AMNH that were collected before the name was published, but I only found one of them in Mathews’ catalog. This paratype is AMNH 685037 (Mathews no. 2814), female, collected at Carina on 21 September 1908. The additional possible paratypes are: AMNH 685020 , male, and AMNH 685021 , female, collected at Bayswater on 27 March 1909 by L.G. Chandler ; AMNH 685024 , female, collected at Fern Tree Gully on 7 November 1911 by Tregellas ; AMNH 685029 , female, collected at Melton on 6 June 1910 by F.E. Wilson ; AMNH 685036 , male, collected 17 miles north of Kow Plains on 8 September 1911 by Wilson ; and AMNH 685040 , female, collected at Warburton in 1903, coll .?
