Melithreptus lunatus yorki Mathews

Melithreptus lunatus yorki Mathews, 1912b: 98 (Cape York).

Now Melithreptus albogularis albogularis Gould, 1848 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 396, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 282–283, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 674–675.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 691395 View Materials , adult male, collected at Utingu , Cape York , Queensland, Australia, on 3 June 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 976). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13201) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of the form as ‘‘Cape York.’’ In addition to Kemp’s original label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The following specimens collected by Kemp at Utingu in May , June and early July, 1912, are paratypes: AMNH 691392 View Materials (Mathews no. 13813), male, 22 June ; AMNH 691393 View Materials (13929), male, 22 June ; AMNH 691394 View Materials (13812), male, 16 June ; AMNH 691396 View Materials (12871), male, 22 May ; AMNH 691404 View Materials (13815), female?, 22 June ; AMNH 691405 View Materials (13930), sex?, 2 July 1912. The following specimens collected by Kemp and cataloged as coming from ‘‘ Cape York’ ’ were cataloged by Mathews but did not come to AMNH: Mathews no. 13198, male, 2 June 1912 ; Mathews no. 13200, male, 25 May 1912 ; Mathews no. 13813, male, 16 June 1912. If they are found, they are also paratypes. AMNH 691397 View Materials , male, Utingu, 13 May 1912, is a possible paratype, but I did not find it in Mathews catalog. Other specimens were either cataloged too late or were never part of Mathews’ collection. Utingu was a coconut plantation opposite Possession Island 10.43S, 142.24E ( USBGN, 1957), northern Cape York ( Jack, 1921: 342, 739) GoogleMaps .
