From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9539) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description; in addition to the original field label, the Mathews Collection label, and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, it bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1922e
: pl. 455, lower right fig., opp. p. 7, text p. 15), where it is confirmed as the type of
herbertoni
. It was probably collected by A.P. Dodd, who with his father F.P.
Dodd (1911)
collected mostly insects in the Herberton area in late 1910– early 1911. The
holotype
is the only Herberton specimen of this form that came to AMNH from the Mathews Collection.
