HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 697337
, male, collected at
Beaconsfield
,
38.03S
,
145.22E
(
USBGN
, 1957),
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
26 May 1907
, by Thomas Tregellas. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 8153) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and the range of
yarra
as ‘‘
Victoria
.’’
The
holotype
bears an original tag,
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels, and a label marked ‘‘
Figured
,’’ indicating that it served as the model for
Mathews (1925a
: pl. 545, upper fig., opp. p. 32, text p. 33), where it is confirmed as the type of
yarra
.
Paratypes
are:
Gippsland Lakes
