HOLOTYPE : AMNH 692764 , adult male, collected at Coopers Camp , Apsley Strait , Melville Island , Northern Territory , Austra- lia, on 18 October 1911 , by J.P. Rogers (no. 2213). From the Mathews Collection (10736) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of melvillensis as ‘‘ Melville Island . ’’ When he described this form, Mathews (1912b: 26) had received two shipments of Melville Island specimens from Rogers , including those specimens collected before the end of 1911. The following specimens are paratypes : AMNH 692762 (Mathews no. 10735), male, 1 November ; AMNH 692763 (10734) male, 30 October ; AMNH 692765 (11598), male, 11 December ; AMNH 692769 (10742), female, 2 October ; AMNH 692770 (11600), female, 25 October ; AMNH 692771 (?), female, 28 November ; AMNH 692772 (11597), female, 22 November ; AMNH 692773 (10740), female, 1 November ; AMNH 692774 (11599), female, 20 November ; AMNH 692776 (10741), sex?, 12 October ; AMNH 692777 (10739), sex?, 4 October. AMNH 692771 bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1924 : pl. 515, opp. p. 305, text p. 312). Two specimens listed in Mathews’ catalog did not come to AMNH , and if found, are paratypes : Mathews no. 10737, female, 25 December 1911 (this entry was written over by data for another specimen, indicating that Mathews had exchanged it) ; and Mathews no. 10738, female, 12 October 1911 . Coopers Camp was across Apsley Strait from the mission station on Bathurst Island ( Hart and Pilling, 1964: 101 ). Bathurst Island Mission Station, 11.45S , 130.41E (Times Atlas).
