HOLOTYPE

AMNH 694878
, adult male, collected
5 miles
west of
Trig. station
HJ9,
Parry Creek
,
East Kimberley
,
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
14 December 1908
, by
J.P. Rogers
(no. 424).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 3186) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. Even though he gave the type locality and the range of
rogersi
as ‘‘North- West
Australia
(Wyndham),’’ Mathews did not actually have a specimen labeled Wyndham (
15.28S
,
128.06
E
, Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 515), all of Rogers’ specimens from this area being labeled Parry Creek (
15.36S
,
128.17
E
, Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512). There are
six paratypes
in AMNH, all collected by Rogers at the same locality as the
holotype
: males,
AMNH 694879
(Mathews no. 3187),
AMNH 694880
(3185),
AMNH 694881
(3184),
AMNH 694882
(3188); females,
AMNH 694883
(3190),
AMNH 694884
(3189).
