Philemon argenticeps melvillensis Mathews Philemon argenticeps melvillensis Mathews, 1912b: 51 (Melville Island, Northern Territory). Now Philemon argenticeps argenticeps (Gould, 1840). See Salomonsen, 1967: 411, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 291, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 682. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 696989 , female, collected at Coopers Creek, Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 16 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2195). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10757) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range as ‘‘ Melville Island. ’’ The holotype bears Rogers’ original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. When this form was named, Mathews (1912b: 26) had received only two shipments of specimens from Melville Island, all collected in 1911. Paratypes are: males, AMNH 696983 (Mathews no. 10762), 29 September; AMNH 696984 (11547), 21 November; AMNH 696985 (11546), 16 November; females, AMNH 696986 (11548), 10 November; AMNH 696987 (11545), 29 November; AMNH 696988 (10756), 30 October; AMNH 696990 (10761), 1 October. An additional specimen, not in AMNH, was cataloged by Mathews as no. 11549, male, 25 November 1911 and, if found, is also a paratype. Hart and Pilling (1964: 101) gave the location of Coopers Camp as directly across Apsley Strait from the Bathurst Island Mission Station, 11.45S, 130.41E (Times Atlas). : Published as part of Mary, 2011, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 9.
