From
the

Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and noted (
Mathews, 1912c: 26
) that Rogers had already sent him two large collections from Melville Island. These two collections were cataloged by Mathews on
26 February and 20 March 1912
. Additional specimens of
G. c. apsleyi
cataloged at those times are
paratypes
: AMNH 606742 (Mathews no. 10636),
30 October 1911
, and AMNH 606743 (11569),
7 November 1911
, both males from Coopers Camp. Specimens from later collections by Rogers on Melville Island would not be
paratypes
of
apsleyi
.
