Epthianura crocea tunneyi Mathews View in CoL

Epthianura crocea tunneyi Mathews, 1912a: 342 View in CoL (Northern Territory (Arnhem Land)).

Now Epthianura crocea tunneyi Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Mayr, 1986b: 463, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 344–345.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577671 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Alligator River , Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, on 29 September 1903, by J.T. Tunney (no. 1639). From the Mathews Collection (9454) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. According to his catalog, he obtained this single specimen from the Rothschild Collection. It still retains the original Rothschild label as well as Tunney’s label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 440, upper left fig., opp. p. 340, text pp. 346, 348), where it is confirmed as the type of tunneyi. A second specimen, AMNH 577673 (Tunney no. 1637), adult male, Alligator River, 29 September 1903, may be a paratype, but I was unable to find it in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when it came into his possession. Other specimens that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection were not part of the Mathews Collection.

Storr (1966: 64) noted that Tunney was in the mangroves near the mouth of the South Alligator River, ca. 12.10S, 132.23E ( Storr, 1977: 113), when he collected this type.
