STRIATED TIT. 
Acanthiza lineata modesta De Vis. 
North Queensland. 
Acanthiza lineata alherti Mathews. 
South Queensland. 
Acanthiza lineata chandleri Mathews. 
Victoria. 
Acanthiza lineata clelandi Mathews. 
South Australia. 
Acanthiza lineata whitei Mathews. 
Kangaroo Island. 
This species differs from A. pusilla, the type of Acanthiza , in its short 
stout bill, not so long or broad as that of Milligania, with the nasal groove 
occupying nearly half its length, the rictal bristles strong and prominent and 
in its shorter stouter feet showing obscurely scutes on the front of the tarsus. 
It seems worthy of at least subgeneric rank and I therefore propose for it the 
new name Subacanthiza. Then Subacanthiza lineata.
