Entomyzon cyanotis hedleyi Mathews, 1912d: 101 (Cape York, Queensland).

Now Entomyzon cyanotis griseigularis van Oort, 1909 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 400, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 274–275, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 676.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 691787 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Skull Creek , 20 miles south of Cape York , 10.43S, 142.28E ( USBGN, 1957), Queensland, Australia, in June 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 1049). From the Mathews Collection (no. 13214) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of the form as ‘‘Cape York.’’ The holotype bears Kemp’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. AMNH 691798 (Mathews no. 13213), female, Utingu, 8 June 1912, by Kemp, is a paratype. AMNH 691782, female, Jardine River, 12 March 1911, by W.R. McLennan, is a possible paratype, but I did not find it listed in Mathews’ catalog. Other Cape York specimens in AMNH from the Mathews Collection were collected too late to have been in Mathews hand when hedleyi was published on 18 September 1912.

See Schodde and Mason (1999: 275) for use of the subspecific name griseigularis.
