Now Aphelocephala nigricincta (North, 1895) . See Mayr, 1986b: 459 , and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 222 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 683515 , adult female, collected on the Tanami Gold Field , 1300 ft , 19.58S , 129.42E ( Storr, 1977: 113 ), Northern Territory , Australia , on 27 March 1910 , by J.P. Rogers (no. 5). From the Mathews Collection (no. 4993) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. It bears Rogers’ label, Mathews Collection and type labels, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923c : pl. 494, lower fig., opp. p. 37, text p. 43), where it is confirmed as the type of tanami . The number ‘‘691’’ that appears on two of the labels refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a) . An AMNH type label has been added. AMNH 683515 was apparently Mathews’ only specimen of tanami . INCERTAE SEDIS The genera Epthianura and Ashbyia are now generally considered to be members of the Meliphagidae , subfamily Epthianurinae . See Schodde and Mason (1999: 224) for a discussion and also for a note concerning the original spelling Epthianura . More recently, del Hoyo et al. (2007: 612–626) have considered these genera to comprise a distinct family. Because Peters’ Check-list Volume 12, which includes the Meliphagidae , was published in 1967, prior to the publication of Volume 11 (1986), it was necessary to include these genera with the Acanthizidae , where they had previously been placed. In order to avoid the possibility of omitting them and to maintain consistency with reference to Peters’ Check-list sequence, they are included here.
