HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 692396
, adult sex?, collected on
Cape York
,
Queensland
,
Australia
.
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9873) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and the range of
yorki
as ‘‘North
Queensland
.’’ The
holotype
bears, in addi- tion to Mathews and Rothschild type labels, a BMNH label no. 81.11.7.375, marked ‘‘Dupl’’ and ‘‘Ex Coll. F.D. Godman.’’ It was among a group of specimens that Mathews obtained from BMNH and cataloged on
7 December 1911
. Some of the specimens from this acquisition were used as types in
Mathews (1912a)
and others were among the first in ‘‘Additions and Corrections’’ in
Mathews (1912b)
. It is the only
Queensland
specimen of this form that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
