HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 697670
, adult male, collected at
Point Torment
,
17.01S
,
123.35E
(
Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 512
),
King Sound
,
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
3 April 1911
, by
J.P. Rogers
(no. 1514).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 8666) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. The specimen bears, in addition to Rogers’ original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that the specimen was illustrated in
Mathews (1923b
: pl. 507, upper left, opp. p. 173, text p. 174), where it is confirmed as the type of
tormenti
. (It is identified on the plate as
Austrodicaeum hirundinaceum
and in the text as
Microchelidon hirundinacea
.)
The
following
Mathews
specimens from northwestern
Australia
and
Northern Territory
(the range given for the subspecies) were cataloged before the
31 January 1912
publication date of the name
;
I consider them
paratypes
:
AMNH 697668

;

The
following specimens were cataloged in
February 1912
and, judging by date of collection, are possible
paratypes
;
but they were probably received by
Mathews
after his manuscript had been completed:

Forrest River
,
30 August 1911
;
