HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 684253
, adult male, collected in the
Stirling Range
,
34.23S
,
117.50E
(
USBGN

Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
24 September 1911
, by
F. Lawson Whitlock. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 10482) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of
whitlocki
as the
Stirling
Range. There are
two paratypes
collected by
Whitlock
in the
Stirling
Range
in
AMNH
:
AMNH 684252
(Mathews no. 10483), male,
18 August 1911
;
and
AMNH 684254
(10484), female,
18 August 1911
. Although Whitlock’s original label is printed ‘‘Collection of
H.L. White
,
Belltrees, N.S.W.
,’’ Mathews’ catalog indicates that he obtained these specimens directly from Whitlock, who sometimes collected for White.
Whitlock (1911)
reported on his trip to the
Stirling
Range
