Megalurus alisteri Mathews

Megalurus alisteri Mathews, 1912a: 345 (Napier Broome Bay, North-West Australia).

Now Megalurus timoriensis alisteri Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 702.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 597870 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Pago Mission (5 mission station, as on label), 14.10S, 126.42E (Times Atlas), Napier Broome Bay, Western Australia, Australia, on 30 October 1909, by G.F. Hill. From the Mathews Collection (no. 5742) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number in the original description. The holotype bears both a Mathews and a Rothschild type label; also present is a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 445, opp. p. 384, text p. 385), where the illustrated bird is confirmed as the type of M. a. alisteri . In his catalog, Mathews listed two specimens from the same locality collected by Hill. AMNH 597871 About AMNH (Mathews no. 5743), immature male collected on 13 May 1910, is a paratype. AMNH 597872 About AMNH , an immature male collected by Hill at Napier Broome Bay on 17 June 1910, is probably also a paratype although not found in Mathews’ catalog .

Hill (1911) published information on his collecting localities and field notes. He was based for 10 months in 1909 and 1910 at the newly established mission station on Napier Broome Bay and collected between the bay and the Drysdale River. Hill gave the coordinates of the station as 14.06S, 126.40E, today known as Pago Mission.
