Meliphaga frenata petersoni Mathews, 1916a: 62 (Peterson’s Pocket, Cairns).

Now Lichenostomus frenatus (Ramsay, 1874) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 390, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 229–230, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185– 191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 596–597.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694949 About AMNH , female, collected at Peterson’s Pocket , Cairns , 16.51S, 145.43E (Times Atlas), Queensland, Australia, on 27 December 1884. From the Mathews Collection (no. 16891) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews (1915c: 59) had the single specimen from Peterson’s Pock- et; it was collected by T.H. Bowyer-Bower (no. 99), a large portion of whose collection was given to Mathews after his death by Bowyer-Bower’s mother. Bowyer- Bower’s original label is missing from this specimen but it bears a small tag attached by a metal ring bearing the number ‘‘99,’’ confirming the number given by Mathews (1915c: 59). Mathews’ collection label is marked ‘‘Type’’ and ‘‘petersoni’’ by him and his catalog number is written on the label, although it was not mentioned in the description. The holotype also bears a Rothschild type label. No range was given for petersoni.
