COMMENTS
: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
. In addition to the Rogers label and the Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the specimen bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was figured in
Mathews (1922a
: pl. 442, opp. p. 354, text p. 355), where it is confirmed as the type of
carterae
. Mathews did not say how many specimens he examined, only giving the range of the form as northwest
Australia
.
Paratype
AMNH 594521, unsexed, from the Strelly River, collected in
August 1907
, bears Mathews catalog number 2137 and was cataloged by him prior to 1910. A second specimen with the same data was not found in the Mathews catalog.
