Ptilotis sonora cooperi Mathews View in CoL

Ptilotis sonora cooperi Mathews, 1912b: 50 View in CoL (Melville Island, Northern Territory).

Now Lichenostomus virescens cooperi (Mathews, 1912) View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 234–235, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 598.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694886 View Materials , adult male, collected at Coopers Camp , Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 29 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2298). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10743) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range of the form as ‘‘Melville Island.’’ The holotype bears in addition to Rogers’ original label, a Rothschild type label, and Mathews type and ‘‘Figured’’ labels, the latter indicating that the type is illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 531, right hand fig., opp. p. 458, text p. 460) where the figured male is confirmed as the type of P. s. cooperi.

Mathews (1912b: 26) noted that he had received two shipments of Melville Island specimens from Rogers ; these included specimens collected in October and November 1911 and cataloged by Mathews on 24 February and 20 March 1912. There is a single paratype: AMNH 694887 View Materials (Mathews no. 10744), female, collected at Coopers Camp on 28 October 1911 by Rogers (no. 2299) .

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