Megalurus gramineus wilsoni Mathews
Megalurus gramineus wilsoni Mathews, 1912a: 344 (Victoria).
Now Megalurus gramineus goulburni Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 703–704.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597918 View Materials , adult female, collected at Western Port , 38.22S. 145.20E ( USBGN, 1957b), Victoria, Australia, on 10 March 1909, by Thomas H. Tregellas (no. 183). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5099) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. A single Tregallas specimen of this species was cataloged on 10 September 1910. AMNH 597919 View Materials , a female collected at Westernport on the same date, is probably a paratype, although I did not find it in Mathews’ catalog ; it was exchanged by AMNH to the FMNH in the 1960s. AMNH 597917 View Materials , immature male, collected at Somerville, Victoria, on 10 April 1909 by L.G. Chandler was cataloged by Mathews as number 4955 and is a paratype of M. g. wilsoni. Its Mathews collection label is marked ‘‘Type’’ and it bears a blank Rothschild type label upon which has been pencilled ‘‘Unpublished’’ and ‘‘ Not a type’’ in a hand unknown. It is initialed, but I am unsure of the letters. I, too, have found no indication that it was ever designated as a type .
In addition to the Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label. It was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 444, opp. p. 375, text pp. 376– 377), where it is confirmed as the type of wilsoni.
Mathews (1913a: 211) specified the type locality of wilsoni as Western Port, the collecting locality of the holotype. Watson et al. (1986a: 43) included wilsoni a s a synonym of M. gramineus gramineus , but Schodde and Mason (1999: 703) have included Victoria within the range of M. gramineus goulburni .
