Aphelocephala leucopsis missa Mathews, 1912a: 377 (New South Wales).

Now Aphelocephala leucopsis leucopsis (Gould, 1841) . See Mayr, 1986b: 458, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 219–220.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 683400 , adult female, collected at Narrandera , 34.36S, 146.34E (Times Atlas), Murrumbidgee River , New South Wales, Australia, in May 1892. From the Mathews Collection (no. 7656) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. It and two additional females from the same locality came to him from T. Thorpe, according to his catalog. The paratypes are AMNH 683401and 683402 (Mathews nos. 7654 and 7655). AMNH 683401 bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923c: pl. 493, bottom fig., opp. p. 29, text pp. 31, 36). Mathews (1913a: 246) specified the type locality as Narrandera, the collecting locality of his holotype.
