Gliciphila fasciata apsleyi Mathews Gliciphila fasciata apsleyi Mathews, 1912b: 49 (Melville Island, Northern Territory). Now Ramsayornis fasciatus (Gould, 1843). See Salomonsen, 1967: 432, Ford, 1986: 102, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 320, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 627–628. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692319 , adult female, collected at Coopers Camp, Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 25 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2274). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10659) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of the form as ‘‘Melville Island.’’ The holotype bears Rogers’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924: pl. 521, lower fig., opp. p. 366, text p. 371) where it is confirmed as the type of apsleyi . By the time apsleyi was published on 2 April 1912, Mathews had received two shipments of Melville Island specimens from Rogers (Mathews, 1912b: 26). The following, all from Coopers Camp, were included in those shipments and are paratypes: AMNH 692313 (Mathews no. 11339, Rogers no. 2374), male, 9 November 1911; AMNH 692315 (11341, 2591), male, 6 December 1911; AMNH 692318 (11340, 2600), female, 7 December 1911. According to Hart and Pilling (1964: 101), Coopers Camp was 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.
