Aegintha temporalis subsp. tregellasi Mathews

Aegintha temporalis tregellasi Mathews Aegintha temporalis tregellasi Mathews, 1912a: 431 (Victoria). Now Neochmia temporalis temporalis (Latham, 1801). See Mayr et al., 1968: 353; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 748–749; Dickinson, 2003: 732; and Payne, 2010: 353–354. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 721819, adult male, collected at Selby, 37.55S, 145.23E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 5 June 1911, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9075) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ The following specimens are considered paratypes as they were cataloged by Mathews before 1 January 1912; his ‘‘ Reference-list’ ’ was published on 31 January 1912. Paratypes: Olinda, AMNH 721801 (Mathews no. 4952), male, 9 May 1908; AMNH 721807 (3531), female, 9 May 1908; AMNH 721808 (2819), female, 9 May 1908; AMNH 721809 (8657), female, 28 March 1911; AMNH 721810 (8656), female, 25 March 1911; AMNH 721812 (9076), female, 13 May 1911; AMNH 721816 (5100), male, 15 August 1908. Ringwood, AMNH 721813 (3530), sex?, 10 August 1908; AMNH 721814 (3532), female, 15 October 1908; AMNH 721815 (3533), female, October 1908. Selby, AMNH 721820 (9078), male; AMNH 721825 (9074), AMNH 721826 (9077), females, all collected 5 June 1911. All were collected by Tregellas or L.G. Chandler. The following specimens are possible paratypes, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when they came into his possession: AMNH 721802–721806, three males, 2 females, Olinda, 9 May 1908, collected by Chandler or Tregellas. The number ‘‘838’’ that appears on Tregellas’ field label of the holotype refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908).Published as part of LeCroy, Mary, 2013, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 11.
