COMMENTS:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and said that the range of
darbiski
was ‘‘
North-West
Australia
.’’
In
addition to
Rogers’
label and
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels, the
holotype
bears a ‘‘
Figured’
’ label indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1924
: pl. 541, left fig., opp. p. 562, text p. 566), where it is confirmed as the type of
darbiski
.
