COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range of the form as ‘‘ Melville Island .’’ Mathews (1912b: 26) noted that Rogers had sent him two shipments of specimens from Melville Island ; these would include specimens collected at Coopers Camp in 1911. Paratypes are: AMNH 695757– 695761 , 695763–695769 (Mathews nos. 10745, 10748, 10749, 11507–11515). The specimen cataloged by Mathews as no. 10747, female, collected 27 October 1911 , did not come to AMNH and if found, is also a paratype . Coopers Camp was said by Hart and Pilling (1964: 101) to have been across Apsley Strait from the Bathurst Island Mission Station, 11.45S , 130.41E (Times Atlas).
