HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 564047
, adult male, collected on the
Alligator River
,
Northern Territory
,
Australia
, on
30 September 1903
, by
John
T
. Tunney (no. 1618). From the Mathews Collection (no. 9339) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: The Mathews catalog number of the type was given in the original description, and the cited specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Mathews received this specimen in
September 1911
as one of 13 miscellaneous specimens sent by Rothschild, and it was the only specimen of this taxon received by him at that time. When Rothschild acquired the Mathews Collection, the
holotype
would have again been included in the Rothschild Collection. A second specimen collected by Tunney on the Alligator
River
in 1903 was never in the Mathews Collection and has no nomenclatural standing.
