HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 694187
, adult male, collected on the
Barron River
,
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
1 June 1912
, by the Dodds. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 13840) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description.
Mathews
consistently recorded the locality as ‘‘
Cairns’
’ for specimens labeled ‘‘
Barron River’
’ and it is not certain exactly where they were collected.
The Barron River
enters the ocean at
Cairns
, but the family home of the
Dodds
was on the
Atherton Tableland
at
Kuranda
, on the middle
Barron. The
holotype
bears the original label and
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels.
There
are
seven paratypes
in
AMNH
: collected on the
Barron River
by the
Dodds
in 1912,
AMNH 694186
(Mathews no. 13252), male, 1
June
;
AMNH 694188
(13253), male, 1
June
;
AMNH 694189
(13255), female, 7
May
;
AMNH 694190
,
694191
(13839), females, 20
June
;
collected at
Cairns
by
P. Schraeder
in 1908,
AMNH 694193
(3121), male
;
AMNH 694194
(3122), female.
In Mathews’
catalog, no. 13254 is a female listed as collected on 1
June
; this could be an error in copying the date and might apply to one of the females collected on 20 June, for which there is only one number, or might refer to an additional specimen that was later exchanged by Mathews.
