HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 697015
, female?, collected at
Utingu
,
Cape York
,
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
8 June 1912
, by
Robin Kemp
(no. 1001).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 13208) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description
;
it bears
Kemp’s
original label and
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels.
Mathews (1912d: 101)
gave the range of
kempi
as ‘‘
Cape
York
.’’
Of
all of the specimens of this form that
Kemp
collected on
Cape
York
, the
holotype
is the only one cataloged by
Mathews
before the name was published on
18 September 1912
. He had two additional specimens, collected on CapeYork by McLennan early enough, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when they came into his possession:
AMNH 697005
, male,
Jardine River
,
12 April 1911
;
AMNH 697018
, male,
Cape
York
,
9 December 1910
.
Utingu was a coconut plantation opposite Possession Island (
Jack, 1921: 342
),
10.43S
,
142.24E
(USBGN, 1957).
