Now Philemon citreogularis sordidus (Gould, 1848) . See Salomonsen, 1967: 405 , Schodde and Mason, 1999: 287–288 , Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191 , and Higgins et al., 2008: 684–685 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 696753 , adult male, collected at Coopers Camp, Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory , Australia , on 6 December 1911 , by J.P. Rogers (no. 2584). From the Mathews Collection (no. 11552) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of the form as ‘‘Melville Island.’’ The holotype bears, in addition to Rogers’ label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1925a : pl. 556, upper fig., opp. p. 109, text p. 117) where it is confirmed as the type of breda . Mathews (1912b: 26) noted that he had received two shipments of specimens collected by Rogers on Melville Island ; these included specimens collected in 1911 at Coopers Camp. Paratypes are: AMNH 696752 ( Mathews no. 10752), male, 6 October ; AMNH 696754 (11550), male, 18 November ; AMNH 696755 (10751), male, 20 October ; AMNH 696756 (10753), female, 1 October ; AMNH 696758 (10750), female, 6 October ; AMNH 696760 (11551), sex?, 6 December . Salomonsen (1967: 405) recognized breda ; whereas, Schodde and Mason (1999: 287– 288) and Higgins et al. (2008: 684) did not. According to Hart and Pilling (1964: 101) , Coopers Camp was across Apsley Strait from the Bathurst Island Mission Station, 11.45S , 130.41E (Times Atlas).
