Defilippi for MZUT , in 1846. MZUT AV4244 ; previously mounted; unsexed adult; New Zealand , no date; purchased in Milano by G. Gené for MZUT , in September 1844 . Remarks .—Filippo Defilippi (1814–67) succeeded G. Gené as head of the Zoological Museum of Torino, of which he was director in 1848–67. It is probable that at least MZUT AV4244 has the same provenance as one of two specimens in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano (no. 12968, unsexed, mounted, from ‘Nov. Zealand’). Based on a manuscript catalogue produced by Defilippi, we know that it was purchased from L. Colombo in 1844 ( Violani et al . 1984 ).
