Philemon buceroides gordoni Mathews View in CoL

Philemon buceroides gordoni Mathews, 1912d: 101 View in CoL (Melville Island, Northern Territory).

Now Philemon buceroides gordoni Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 408, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 289–290, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 680– 681.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697086 About AMNH , adult male, collected 10 miles east of Gordon Point , 11.31S, 130.27E ( USBGN, 1957), Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 14 June 1912, by J.P. Rogers (no. 3689). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13602) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of gordoni as ‘‘Melville Island.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Rogers’ original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1925a: pl. 555, upper fig., opp. p. 103, text p. 107), where it is confirmed as the type of gordoni. Paratypes, all collected at Gordon Point in 1912, are: AMNH 697085 (Mathews no. 14409), 19 June, AMNH 697086 (13603), 14 June, males, AMNH 697088 (13604), 19 June, female.
