Entomyzon cyanotis apsleyi Mathews, 1912b: 51 (Melville Island, Northern Territory).

Now Entomyzon cyanotis albipennis Gould, 1841 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 400, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 274–275, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 676.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 691755 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Coopers Camp , Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 30 September 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2068). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10758) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; it bears Rogers’ original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews (1912b: 26), giving the range of apsleyi as ‘‘ Melville Island ,’’ noted that he had received two shipments of birds from there ; these included specimens collected by Rogers at Coopers Camp in 1911. The following are paratypes: males, AMNH 691751 About AMNH ( Mathews no. 11541), 29 November ; AMNH 691752 About AMNH (11542), 29 November ; AMNH 691753 About AMNH (10759), 2 October ; AMNH 691754 About AMNH (10760), 27 October ; female, AMNH 691757 About AMNH (11544), 9 November. Mathews specimen no. 11543, male, collected on 24 November did not come to AMNH, and if found is also a paratype .

Salomonsen (1967: 400) recognized apsleyi, but Schodde and Mason (1999: 274–275) and Higgins et al. (2008: 676) did not.

According to Hart and Pilling (1964: 101), Coopers Camp was on Apsley Strait opposite the Bathurst Island Mission Station, 11.45S, 130.41E (Times Atlas).
