Acrocephalus australis melvillensis Mathews

Acrocephalus australis melvillensis Mathews, 1912d: 77 (Melville Island, Northern Territory).

Now Acrocephalus orientalis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1847) . See Watson et al., 1986a: 69, and Schodde and Mason (1999: 700).

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 594413 About AMNH , adult sex?, collected 10 mi southeast of Snake Bay , 11.22S, 130.38E (Times Atlas), Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 9 January 1912, by John P. Rogers (no. 2962). From the Mathews Collection (no. 11728) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In his original description, Mathews cited his catalog number as 11728; however, this was incorrectly copied as 11723 on his green type label and on the Rothschild type label. The entry opposite 11728 in the catalog is a single specimen of ‘‘ Acrocephalus gouldi ’’ with the correct data. This specimen also bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 442, opp. p. 354, text pp. 355–356), where it is confirmed as the type of melvillensis. It is the only Melville Island specimen of A. orientalis that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
