Can you explain to me the differences between melancholic and atypical depression?

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that bipolar depression symptomatology appears like a hybridization between unipolar atypical and melancholic depressions. For instance, bipolar depression has a greater incidence of psychomotor retardation than does atypical depression. In this respect, it is more like melancholic depression. So, what I am wondering is if the pattern of diurnal variations follows a hybridization of melancholic (good at night) and atypical (good in the morning). This leaves the middle of the day as being the worst time for depression.
