Melithreptus atricapillus submagnirostris Mathews
Melithreptus atricapillus submagnirostris Mathews, 1912a: 393 (Victoria) .
Now Melithreptus brevirostris brevirostris (Vigors and Horsfield, 1827) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 394, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 279–281, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 673–674.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 691663 View Materials , adult male, collected at Ringwood , 37.51S, 145.13E (Times Atlas), Victoria, Australia, on 8 August 1908, by Thomas Tregellas (no. 313). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9463) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description, giving the range of submagnirostris as ‘‘ Victoria.’’ In addition to the original label, the holotype bears a Mathews and a Rothschild type label. The collector’s name does not appear on the original label, but it was cataloged as coming from Tregellas and the handwriting on the original label is his. There are three paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 691660 View Materials (Mathews no. 4918), male, Frankston , 12 December 1908, by Tregellas ; AMNH 691661 View Materials (4974), female, Frankston , 9 April 1909, by L.G. Chandler ; AMNH 691665 View Materials (4917), female, Ringwood, 8 October 1908, by Tregellas. There are nine additional specimens from Victoria that were collected early enough but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and have no way of knowing when they came into his possession. They are possible paratypes: AMNH 691657 View Materials , immature male, Mornington , 9 April 1909 ; AMNH 691658 View Materials , 691659 View Materials , males, Frankston , 5 April 1908 ; AMNH 691666 View Materials , female, Ringwood , 8 August 1908 ; AMNH 691667 View Materials , 691668 View Materials , females, Underbool, 13 September 1910 (both also possible paratypes of mallee, see below) ; AMNH 691680 View Materials , female, Eltham , 26 July 1902 ; AMNH 691684 View Materials , 691685 View Materials , females, You Yangs , 31 October 1908 .
