Queensland ). Now Myzomela obscura harterti Mathews, 1911 . See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 337–338 , Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191 , and Higgins et al., 2008: 638–639 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 692518 , adult male, collected at Cairns , 16.51S , 145.43E (Times Atlas), northern Queensland , Australia , in July 1908 , by P. Schraeder. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3036) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; the only locality mentioned was Cairns. In addition to Mathews’ collection label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the holotype also bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it served as the model for Mathews (1924 : pl. 517, opp. p. 330, text p. 331), where it is confirmed as the type of M. o. harterti . Mathews had three additional specimens collected by Schraeder at Cairns, paratypes AMNH 692516 (Mathews no. 3038), sexed as a female, but label changed to male, August 1908 ; AMNH 592517 (3037), male, August 1908 ; AMNH 592519 (3039), female, July 1908 . AMNH 692520 (16883) collected by T.H. Bowyer Bower at Cairns on 14 January 1885 , was not cataloged by Mathews until 15 May 1913 , long after the publication of harterti , and it is not a paratype .
