description: <i>Pachycephala lanioides buchanani</i> Mathews <i>Pachycephala lanioides buchanani</i> Mathews, 1912c: 77 (Buchanan Island, Northern Territory). Now <i>Pachycephala lanioides fretorum</i> De Vis, 1889. See Mees, 1964a: 94, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 450–451, and Boles, 2007: 429. HOLOTYPE: <b>AMNH 659324</b>, adult male, collected on Buchanan Island, 11.49S, 130.39E (Storr, 1977: 106), entrance to Apsley Strait, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 17 February 1912, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2890). From the Mathews Collection (no. 11858) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and stated that the range of <i>buchanani</i> was Buchanan Island. It was the only specimen from Buchanan Island cataloged at that time. Mathews (1912b: 26) had noted that he had received two shipments of Melville Island specimens from Rogers, and these he cataloged on 24 February 1912 and 7 May 1912, the latter including the holotype of <i>buchanani</i>, the name of which was published 28 June 1912. On 8 July 1912, a third shipment was cataloged, including one additional specimen of <i>buchanani</i> from Buchanan Island, collected on 28 February (AMNH 659325, Mathews no. 12464). Mathews was usually very prompt in cataloging specimens, and so I do not consider this specimen a paratype. Another specimen cataloged on 8 July 1912 was collected at Coopers Camp, Melville Island on 12 March 1912 (AMNH 659344) but could not be a paratype because Buchanan Island was specified as the range of <i>buchanani</i> in the original description. Other specimens collected in April–June were cataloged on 17 August 1912 and were certainly not in Mathews’ hands when the name was published.
