Myzantha flavigula melvillensis Mathews, 1912b: 51 (Melville Island, Northern Territory).
Now Manorina flavigula melvillensis (Mathews, 1912). See Salomonsen, 1967: 442, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617–618.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694467, adult male, collected at Coopers Camp, Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 22 October 1911, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2248). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10754) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and noted (Mathews, 1912b: 26) that he had received two shipments of Melville Island birds from Rogers since the publication of his reference list (Mathews, 1912a); these included specimens collected at Coopers Camp in 1911. Paratypes are: AMNH 694463 (Mathews no. 10755), male, 22 October; AMNH 694465 (11553), male, 3 November; AMNH 694466 (11554), male, 25 November; AMNH 694468 (11555), male, 8 December; AMNH 694470 (11556), male, 25 November; AMNH 694474 (11557), female, 8 December; AMNH 694475 (11558), female, 25 November.
