description: <i>Ptilotis leucotis depauperata</i> Mathews <i>Ptilotis leucotis depauperata</i> Mathews, 1912a: 407 (Coonalpun, South Australia). Now <i>Lichenostomus leucotis novaenorciae</i> (Milligan, 1904). See Salomonsen, 1967: 384, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 240–241, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 602–603. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 695033</b>, female?, Coonalpyn (<i>5</i> Coonalpun), 35.42S, 139.51E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 17 May 1911, by J.B. Cleland (no. 9). From the Mathews Collection (no. 8943) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype, saying that the range of the form was ‘‘ Victoria, South Australia.’’ The holotype bears in addition to the original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Although Cleland’s name does not appear as collector on the label, the specimen is credited to him in Mathews’ catalog. Paratypes are specimens of <i>P. leucotis</i> from South Australia and Victoria that were in Mathews’ collection when <i>depauperata</i> was published on 31 January 1912. I have only included specimens that were cataloged by Mathews before 1 January 1912, as specimens collected by S.A. White and cataloged in early January were among those that were described by Mathews (1912b) later. The following are definite paratypes: <b>AMNH 695036</b> (Mathews no. 6274), female, Parwan, 26 June 1910; <b>AMNH 695039</b> (4968), male, Frankston, 14 April 1909; <b>AMNH 695042</b> (4969), male immature, Frankston, 9 April 1909; <b>AMNH 695044</b> (4755), female, Beaconsfield, 26 March 1910; <b>AMNH 695049</b> (9061), female, Olinda, 17 April 1911; <b>AMNH 695050</b> (9060), female, Olinda, 13 May 1911; <b>AMNH 695110</b> (5053), male, Mitcham, 30 March 1910. The following were collected early enough, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog: AMNH 695041, male, Frankston, 14 April 1908; AMNH 695043, unsexed, Frankston, 9 March 1909; AMNH 695051, female, Olinda, 11 February 1911; AMNH 695063, female, Lang Lang, 13 April 1908; AMNH 695091, female, 2 August 1911; AMNH 695099, male, Mallee, 8 September 1911; AMNH 695106, unsexed, Fern Tree Guly, 3 July 1909; AMNH 695112, unsexed, Seville, 1884; AMNH 695113, male, Stony Point, 29 March 1899; AMNH 695115, male, Warburton, June 1903.
