HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 596602
, adult unsexed, collected south of
Biskra
,
34.50N
,
05.41E
(Times Atlas),
Algeria
, on
14 January 1903
, by
E. Flückiger
(no. 327).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Hartert cited Flückiger’s unique field number for the
holotype
in the original description. He did not say how many specimens he examined;
however, he gave the range of the form as ‘‘
Algerien
, Marokko,
Tunis’
’ and examined specimens in collections in
London
,
Ingelheim
, and
Liverpool
besides
Rothschild
specimens.
There
are only two possible
paratypes
that were in the
Rothschild Collection
prior to the description of
toni
.
AMNH 596601
, female, was collected at ‘‘El-Dimd-Safsaf’’, west
Algeria
, on
13 April 1851
, by an unknown collector
;
AMNH 596620
, male, was collected in spring (1836?) in
Algeria
.
Hartert
has noted on the label ‘‘
Coll. Riocour
par
Petit
, from
Loche’
’ and ‘‘looks as brown as
dartfordiansis
!’’ I have no information about when these specimens were acquired by
Rothschild
.
