HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 252318
, adult male, collected on
Qamea
(
5
Ngamia)
Island
,
Fiji
, on
25 November 1925
, by
Virginia Correia
on the
Whitney
South Sea Expedition
(no. 15724).
COMMENTS
: The AMNH number of the
holotype
was cited in the original description. Mayr gave Beck and Correia as collectors of this type, but on the original label Beck’s name is crossed out and ‘‘Mrs.’’ is written next to J.G. Correia.
Paratypes
from Qamea and Rambi islands are: AMNH 223967, 223979, 252280, 252315– 252317, 252319, and 252327–252333. Of these, I did not
find AMNH
252280 and
252317 in
the collection, and it is possible that they were exchanged to other museums and not so marked in the catalog.
