COMMENTS
: Mathews apparently had a single specimen from Cobbora. This specimen does not bear a Mathews or Rothschild
type
label, but both the original Austin label and the Rothschild label (printed ‘‘Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews) have been marked ‘‘Type’’. It had not previously been included in the AMNH
type
collection, although it is listed as the
type
by
Mayr and Serventy (1938: 254)
. Cobbora, or Cobborah, was the site of a property owned by Austin in central
New South Wales
east of Dubbo.
