HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 602963
, adult male, collected at
Albany
,
35.01S
,
117.54E
(
Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 503
),
Western Australia
,
Australia
, on
17 May 1907
, by Tom Carter. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 2372) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description;
the specimen bears a Mathews type label with the catalog number, but no Rothschild type label. An
AMNH
type label has been added. I found
three paratypes
in the Mathews catalog:
AMNH 602964
(2371), male, and
AMNH 602972
(2373), female, from Albany
;
and
AMNH 602977
(2370), male, from Broomehill, all collected before 1910.
AMNH 602966–602970
are possible
paratypes
, all collected in 1910, but I did not find them cataloged to establish date of accession. Others were collected too late to have been in Mathews’ hand when the name was published in
January 1912
.
Mathews (1913a: 230)
specified the type locality of
rothschildi
as Albany, the collecting locality of the
holotype
.
