Hylacola pyrrhopygia halmaturina Mathews, 1912a: 333 (Kangaroo Island).

Now Calamanthus cautus halmaturinus (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 430, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 148–149.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 585532 View Materials , adult male, collected on Middle River , 35.41S, 137.03E ( USBGN, 1957b), Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia, on 29 (not 28) March 1905, by Edwin Ashby. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2030) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Ashby’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, this specimen also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1921b: pl. 430, opp. p. 226, text p. 229), where it is confirmed as the type of ‘‘ Hylacola cauta halmaturina ’’.

Five additional Ashby specimens from Middle River, Kangaroo Island , cataloged at the same time, are paratypes: AMNH 585533 View Materials and 585534, immature males, without date, shared Mathews numbers 2026 and 2027 ; AMNH 585535 View Materials (2029), adult male, 18 October 1905 ; AMNH 585536 View Materials (2025), adult female, 16 October 1905 ; and AMNH 585537 View Materials (2024), adult female, 20 October 1905. AMNH 585543 View Materials (9471), unsexed, collected at Cape Borda, Kangaroo Island, in February 1911 by Mellor was cataloged by Mathews on 17 October 1911 and is also a paratype. AMNH 585531 View Materials , male, collected in October 1905 by A.G. Campbell, is probably also a paratype, but I was unable to find it in Mathews’ catalog. There are an additional three paratypes in SAMA (P. Horton and B. Blaylock, personal commun.) .

Mayr (1986b: 430) retained the genus Hylacola and considered H. cautus monotypic; del Hoyo et al. (2007: 589) included the subspecies halmaturina in the species Hylacola cauta .
