description: <i>Ptilotis ornata underbooli</i> Mathews <i>Ptilotis ornata underbooli</i> Mathews, 1913c: 68 (Underbool, Victoria). Now <i>Lichenostomus ornatus</i> (Gould, 1838). See Salomonsen, 1967: 383, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 248, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 606. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 695382</b>, female, collected at Underbool, 35.10S, 141.49E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 12 September 1910, by F. Erasmus Howe. From the Mathews Collection (no. 6276) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype and gave the range of <i>underbooli</i> as ‘‘Mallee country of Victoria and South Australia.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Howe’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 538, middle figure, opp. p. 524, text p. 531), where it is confirmed as the type of <i>underbooli</i>. In the original description, Mathews said that the type was collected by T. Tregellas; however, in his catalog he attributed the specimen to F.E. Howe and the handwriting on the label matches Howe’s and is completely unlike the carefully hand-printed labels of Tregellas. The mallee specimens that were the holotype and paratypes of <i>tailemi</i> (above) are also paratypes of <i>underbooli</i>: <b>AMNH 695373–695375, 695381, 695383–695386, 695389</b>. An additional two specimens, both collected by Tregellas, are paratypes of <i>underbooli</i>, having been received by Mathews after <i>tailemi</i> was published but before <i>underbooli</i>: <b>AMNH 695387</b> (Mathews no. 15261), female, collected at Daytrap, Victoria, on 9 September 1912; <b>AMNH 695388</b> (15262), male, Gerahmin, Victoria, on 10 September 1912.
