HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 673348
, adult male, collected in
South Australia
, undated.
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 2583) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
and gave the range of
mellori
as ‘‘
Victoria, South Australia
.’’ The Mathews label on the
holotype
is annotated as having been purchased from the dealer Gerrard. Mathews apparently had no
Victorian
spec- imen at this time
;
AMNH 673347
was collected by
T.H. Tregellas
at Wandella on
6 March 1912
, after the publication of
mellori
on
31 January 1912
.
At
the same time that
Mathews
cataloged the
holotype
, he entered two additional specimens from
South Australia
as nos. 2581 and 2582.
There
are two additional
South Australian
specimens at
AMNH
that were in the
Mathews Collection
:
AMNH 673349
, female, without locality, but with ‘‘
S.A.
’’ pencilled in, from the collection of
Edwin Ashby
;
and
AMNH 673350
, sex?, ‘‘
South Australia
,’’ undated.
They
are possible
paratypes
, but the data in the catalog do not exactly correspond to the data on the labels
.
