SYNTYPES
:
AMNH 657608
(Mathews no. 18292), male
;
and
AMNH 657609
(18291), female, collected at Bellbird Bore, northwest
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
24 September 1913
, by Thomas H. Tregellas. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said only that the ‘‘type’’ of
bettingtoni
was from Bellbird Bore. Only
two specimens
from this locality came to
AMNH
;
as there is no way of distinguishing between these specimens, both must be considered
syntypes
. Mathews mentioned that he had other specimens from
Lingerande
and
Kow Plains
, but these are not from the specified type locality
.
