Philemon buceroides yorki Mathews View in CoL

Philemon buceroides yorki Mathews, 1912d: 102 View in CoL (Cape York, Queensland).

Now Philemon buceroides yorki Mathews, 1912 View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 410, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 289–290, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 680– 681.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 697065 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Utingu , Cape York , Queensland, Australia, on 13 May 1912, by Robin Kemp (no. 867). From the Mathews Collection (no. 12897) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of yorki as ‘‘Cape York.’’ The specimen bears Kemp’s original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that this specimen was illustrated in Mathews (1925a: pl. 555, lower fig. labeled Neophilemon yorki , opp. p. 103, text p. 104), where it is confirmed as the type of yorki . The type also bears a tag annotated by Mathews: ‘‘To Gron old, Note bare skin, low down on neck;’’ this is undoubtedly a note to the artist, H. Grönvold. Only specimens collected by Kemp on Cape York in April and May 1912 were cataloged by Mathews before the publication of yorki on 18 September 1912. These four specimens are paratypes: AMNH 697066 (Mathews no. 13209), male, Utingu, 23 May; AMNH 697079 (12758), female, Thursday Island (but cataloged as Cape York), 30 April; AMNH 697080 (12898), female, Utingu, 10 May; AMNH 697081 (13210), female, Utingu, 23 May. See below for a discussion of the complicated nomenclature of the Australian forms of P. buceroides .

Utingu was a coconut plantation opposite Possession Island ( Jack, 1921: 342), 10.43S, 142.24E (USBGN, 1957).
