Philemon argenticeps kempi Mathews View in CoL

Philemon argenticeps kempi Mathews, 1912d: 101 View in CoL (Cape York, Queensland).

Now Philemon agenticeps kempi Mathews, 1912 . See Salomonsen, 1967: 410, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 291, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 682.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697015 About AMNH , female?, collected at Utingu , Cape York , Queensland, Australia, on 8 June 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 1001). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13208) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description ; it bears Kemp’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews (1912d: 101) gave the range of kempi as ‘‘ Cape York.’’ Of all of the specimens of this form that Kemp collected on Cape York, the holotype is the only one cataloged by Mathews before the name was published on 18 September 1912. He had two additional specimens, collected on CapeYork by McLennan early enough, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when they came into his possession: AMNH 697005 About AMNH , male, Jardine River , 12 April 1911 ; AMNH 697018 About AMNH , male, Cape York, 9 December 1910 .

Utingu was a coconut plantation opposite Possession Island ( Jack, 1921: 342), 10.43S, 142.24E (USBGN, 1957).
