HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 673745
, adult female, collected on the west coast near
Lake Greenly
,
34.20S
,
135.25E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
Eyre Peninsula
,
South Australia
,
Australia
, on
29 August 1911
, by
S.A. White
(no. 58).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9563) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
and gave the range of
whiteae
as
South Australia
. This female
holotype
was described, but not illustrated, in
Mathews (1927: 415)
. AMNH 673746 (Mathews no. 12218), male, Streaky Bay,
29 August 1911
, was not cataloged until
May 1912
, after the
31 January 1912
publication of
whiteae
, and is therefore not accepted as a
paratype
. Other specimens of this form in AMNH from
South Australia
were collected after the description was published or were not part of the Mathews Collection.
See
Schodde and Mason (1999: 616–617)
for recognition of
whiteae
.
