HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 673566
, adult male, collected at
Skull Creek
,
20 miles
south of
Cape York
(as on label),
Queensland
,
Australia
, in
June 1912
, by
Robin Kemp
(no. 1048).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 13154) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
and noted that he ‘‘had now received a series of birds from [
Cape
York
].’’
Mathews (1923b: 400)
added that Robin Kemp collected the series for him.
C. m. kempi
was published on
18 September 1912
, and only those specimens collected before that date can be included in the type series. It appears that Mathews had a series of two! All specimens in AMNH that Kemp collected on
Cape
York
, other than the
holotype
and
paratype
, were collected after the publication of the name. The
paratype
is:
AMNH 673564
(Mathews no. 13153), adult male, collected at Skull Creek in
June 1912
by Kemp (no. 1047).
