Description
Pachycephala lanioides buchanani Mathews
Pachycephala lanioides buchanani Mathews, 1912c: 77 (Buchanan Island, Northern Territory).
Now Pachycephala lanioides fretorum De Vis, 1889. See Mees, 1964a: 94, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 450–451, and Boles, 2007: 429.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 659324, adult male, collected on Buchanan Island, 11.49S, 130.39E (Storr, 1977: 106), entrance to Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 17 February 1912, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2890). From the Mathews Collection (no. 11858) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and stated that the range of buchanani was Buchanan Island. It was the only specimen from Buchanan Island cataloged at that time. Mathews (1912b: 26) had noted that he had received two shipments of Melville Island specimens from Rogers, and these he cataloged on 24 February 1912 and 7 May 1912, the latter including the holotype of buchanani, the name of which was published 28 June 1912. On 8 July 1912, a third shipment was cataloged, including one additional specimen of buchanani from Buchanan Island, collected on 28 February (AMNH 659325, Mathews no. 12464). Mathews was usually very prompt in cataloging specimens, and so I do not consider this specimen a paratype. Another specimen cataloged on 8 July 1912 was collected at Coopers Camp, Melville Island on 12 March 1912 (AMNH 659344) but could not be a paratype because Buchanan Island was specified as the range of buchanani in the original description. Other specimens collected in April–June were cataloged on 17 August 1912 and were certainly not in Mathews’ hands when the name was published.
