Artamus leucorhynchus melvillensis Mathews Artamus leucorhynchus melvillensis Mathews, 1912b: 45 (Melville Island). Now Artamus leucorynchus leucopygialis Gould, 1842. See Stresemann, 1913a: 293; Hartert, 1920: 455; Mathews, 1923b: 217–224; 1930: 635; Mayr, 1962b: 162; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 561–562; Dickinson, 2003: 464; and Rowley and Russell, 2009b: 305. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 664698 , adult male, collected at Coopers Camp, Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 1 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2082). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10780) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of melvillensis as Melville Island. The holotype, in addition to Rogers’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, also bears a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1923b: pl. 475, opp. p. 217; text p. 218), where the figured bird is confirmed as the type of melvillensis . Paratypes are: Coopers Camp, Melville Island, AMNH 664699–664706 (Mathews nos. 10779, 11487– 11490, 11492–11494), five males, three females, 25 October–14 December 1911, collected by Rogers. A male cataloged as no. 11491 by Mathews, collected on 12 December 1911, did not come to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Coopers Camp was said to be directly across Apsley Strait from the Bathurst Island mission station (Hart and Pilling, 1964: 101) at 11.45S, 130.41E (Times Atlas). : Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.
