description: <i>Colluricincla harmonica victoriae</i> Mathews <i>Colluricincla harmonica victoriae</i> Mathews, 1912a: 369 (Victoria). Now <i>Colluricincla harmonica harmonica</i> (Latham, 1801). See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462, and Boles, 2007: 432–433. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 656615</b>, female, collected at Olinda, 37.51S, 145.22E (USBGN, 1957), Victoria, Australia, on 15 April 1911, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9046) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Tregellas’ original label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels; the number ‘‘636’’ that appears on Tregellas’ label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908). Mathews gave the range of <i>victoriae</i> as ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ Because Mathews, at that time and later, considered South Australian birds to be <i>Colluricincla rufiventris</i> Gould, I have not considered any of Mathews’ South Australian specimens to be part of the type series of <i>C. harmonica victoriae</i>. Paratypes are thus restricted to the following specimens: Bayswater, <b>AMNH 656595</b> (Mathews no. 8068), <b>AMNH 656596</b> (8069); Blackburn, <b>AMNH 656597</b> (4235), <b>AMNH 656598</b> (4236), <b>AMNH 656599</b> (5059); Olinda, <b>AMNH 656611</b> (9045), <b>AMNH 656612</b> (8531), <b>AMNH 656618</b> (4961), <b>AMNH 656619</b> (8532), <b>AMNH 656620</b> (8067); Ringwood, <b>AMNH 656621</b> (8533), <b>AMNH 656622</b> (5935). Two specimens collected by C.F. Cole long before publication of <i>victoriae</i> on 31 January 1912 are not considered paratypes, as Whittell (1954: 158) noted that Cole did not send his collection to Mathews until 1914. AMNH 656625 was collected early enough for inclusion but was not cataloged until 7 March 1912 (Mathews no. 11153), over a month after the publication of <i>victoriae</i>; AMNH 656608, 656609, 656617 were also collected early enough, but I have not considered them paratypes as I did not find them listed in Mathews’ catalog. All other Victorian specimens of this species in AMNH were either collected after the publication date of <i>victoriae</i> or were never in the Mathews Collection.
