Victoria
,
Australia
, on
13 May 1911
, by Thomas Tregellas. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9058) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS:
Mathews
gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and the range of
victoriae
as ‘‘
Victoria
.’’
The
holotype
bears, in addition to
Tregellas’
original label and Mathews and Rothchild type labels, a ‘‘
Figured’
’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1924
: pl. 518, top fig., opp. p. 337, text p. 338), where it is confirmed as the type of
victoriae
.
Only
the following
two specimens
from
Victoria
were found in
Mathews’
catalog and are
paratypes
:
AMNH 693457
(Mathews no. 3045), male juvenile, The Basin, Dandenongs,
1 January 1909
;
AMNH 693461
(8568), male, Olinda,
10 February 1911
. The following specimens were collected prior to the publication of
victoriae
on
31 January 1912
, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog
;
they are possible
