Now Malurus cyaneus ashbyi Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 91–92.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 601752 View Materials , adult male, collected on Middle River , 35.41S. 137.03E ( USBGN, 1957b), Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia, on 21 October 1905, by Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2272) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype. A second specimen cataloged at the same time is a paratype: AMNH 601760 View Materials (Mathews no. 2273), female, collected on Kangaroo Island, no date. Five specimens collected by S.A. White on Middle River, Kangaroo Island , on 1 December 1911 were not cataloged by Mathews until 6 and 20 February 1912, after the publication of the name in January 1912 ; and a sixth White specimen was not collected until 16 April 1912. None of these is considered a paratype.
There is one paratype in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.).
This subspecies was synonymized with M. cyaneus cyanochlamys by Schodde (1982: 47) and by Mayr (1986a: 396–397).
