Description

Pardalotus melanocephalus melvillensis Mathews

Pardalotus melanocephalus melvillensis Mathews, 1912b: 48 (Melville Island, Northern Territory).

Now Pardalotus striatus melvillensis Mathews, 1912. See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 128–131, and Woinarski, 2008: 401.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 699030, adult male, collected at Cooper’s Camp, Apsley Strait, 11.35S, 130.28E (USBGN, 1957), Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 22 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2251). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10648) 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 bears, in addition to Rogers’ label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews (1912b: 26) noted that Rogers had forwarded to him two collections from Melville Island; these included specimens collected in 1911. The following specimens, all from Cooper’s Camp, Apsley Strait, are paratypes: AMNH 699029 (Mathews no. 10652, Rogers no. 2489), male, 23 November 1911; AMNH 699031 (11560, 2606), male, 9 December 1911; AMNH 699032 (11561, 2617), male, 11 December 1911; AMNH 699033 (11559, 2551), male, 29 November 1911; AMNH 699035 (10650, 2249), female, 22 October 1911; AMNH 699036 (10651, 2250), female, 22 October 1911; AMNH 699039 (10649, 2235), unsexed, 20 October 1911.
