Ptilotis lewinii ivi
Mathews, 1912a: 405
(Barron River,
Queensland
).
Now
Meliphaga lewinii mab
(Mathews, 1912)
. See
Schodde and Mason, 1999: 257–258

Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191
, and
Higgins et al., 2008: 589

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 694711
, adult sex?, collected on the
Barron River
, on
7 June 1910
, by the
Dodds
(no. 20).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 5041) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description
;
it bears, in addition to the
Dodds
original label,
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels.
The Dodds
lived at
Kuranda
,
16.49S
,
145.39E
(
USBGN
, 1957), which is on the middle
Barron River
, and the type was probably collected near their home.
Mathews
noted the range as ‘‘
Queensland’
’;
therefore all of the
Queensland
specimens in
Mathews’
collection when this form was described comprise his type series.
Paratypes
in
AMNH
are:
AMNH 694707
(
Mathews
no. 3170, also the
holotype
of
mab
, see above),
AMNH 694708
(3171), adult male, collected on
Mount Elliot
by
W. Stalker
;
AMNH 694709
(3169), female, collected on
Mount Elliot
by
Stalker
;
AMNH 694712
(8039), sex?, collected on the
Barron River
on
30 July 1910
by the
Dodds. A
specimen collected at
Gracemere
in 1881 by
C. Lumholtz
was not acquired from
R. Collett
,
ZMO
, by
Mathews (1912b: 25)
until after the publication of
ivi
on
31 January 1912
, and other
Queensland
specimens were not collected until after that date.
The
specimen cataloged by
Mathews
as no. 5040, a
Dodd
specimen from
Kuranda
,
13 May 1910
, did not come to
AMNH
and is a
paratype
, if found
.
