,

, by Wilfred Stalker. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 2119) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. In addition to Stalker’s label, the
holotype
bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1922a
: pl. 439, upper left fig., opp. p. 323, text pp. 332–333), where it is confirmed as the type of
distincta
. There are
three paratypes
, all collected by Stalker at
Alexandria
in 1905: AMNH 577575 (2120), male; AMNH 577576 (2122), female; and AMNH 577577 (2121), unsexed.
Ingram (1907: 406)
, in his report on Stalker’s collection, listed these
four specimens
. Contra
Ingram (1907)
and
Whittell (1954: 680–681)
, Stalker’s given name was Wilfred (
Ogilvie-Grant, 1915
: vi).
