named

, and on p. 412 described the adult male and listed as the
type
the specimen illustrated in that work on plate 447, middle bottom figure. In addition to Austin’s label marked ‘‘Type’’ and a Rothschild Collection label marked ‘‘Ex. coll. G.M. Mathews’’, the specimen bears a Rothschild
type
label with the name written by E. Mayr, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was illustrated in
Mathews (1922a
: pl. 447, middle bottom fig., opp. p. 409, text pp. 412, 432). Mathews did not catalog this specimen.
