Kempiella kempi Mathews

Kempiella kempi Mathews, 1913d: 12 (Cape York, North Queensland).

Now Microeca griseoceps kempi (Mathews, 1913) View in CoL . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 373–374.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 604699 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Piara Scrubs, 100 m, 10.44S, 142.34E ( USBGN, 1957b), Cape York , northern Queensland, Australia, on 28 February 1913, by Robin Kemp (no. 2538). From the Mathews Collection (no. 17453) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews gave the date of collection of the holotype in the original description. His catalog number is written on his type label, although it was not given in the original description. Mathews’ single specimen of this form was entered there on 1 July 1913 as Microeca flaviventris . It also bears a Rothschild type label, Kemp’s original field label, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1920a: pl. 390, upper fig., opp. p. 197, text p. 204), although it was not there said to be the type. A second male, AMNH 604700, collected by Kemp at the same locality on 19 February 1913, was cataloged by Mathews (no. 17697) as Kempiella kempi on 5 August 1913 and may have been in Mathews’ hand when the description was published on 2 August; it is a probable paratype. A female from the Claudie River, 9 October 1913, was collected after the publication of the name.

Mathews (1913a: 177) included K. kempi in his List of the Birds of Australia but did not further define the type locality. ‘‘Piara Scrubs’’ is the locality on Kemp’s field label and refers to the Muddy Bay, Cape York home of the Vidgens (spelled‘‘Vigdens’’ by Macgillivray, 1914: 135) where many early collectors stayed. Mayr (1986d: 560) considered kempi a synonym of Microeca g. griseoceps .
