HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 607595
, adult male, collected in
Gippsland
,
Victoria
,
Australia
, on
16 July 1886
, by Edwin Ashby. From the
Mathews Collection
(no. 1633) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
:
Mathews
cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description
;
it bears, in addition to
Ashby’s
label and
Mathews
and
Rothschild
type labels, a yellow ‘‘
Figured’
’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1920a
: pl. 378, upper figs., opp. p. 97, text p. 106), although it is not there said to be the type.
The
following specimens are
paratypes
:
Frankston
,
AMNH 607593
(
Mathews
no. 4951)
;
Lal Lal
,
AMNH 607596
(1635)
;
Melton
,
AMNH 607602
(5088)
;
Olinda Creek
,
AMNH 607605
(4545)
;
and
Upper Yarra
,
AMNH 607607
(1634).
Possible
paratypes
, although I did not find them listed in
Mathews’
catalog, are:
Frankston
,
AMNH 607591
, male,
22 August 1908
;
AMNH 607592
, male,
22 April 1908
;
and
Olinda
,
AMNH 607604
, female,
8 July 1911
.
Mathews (1913a: 168)
specified the type locality of
inexpectata
as Gippsland, the collecting locality of his
holotype
.
Mayr (1986d: 566)
considered
inexpectata
a synonym of
rodinogaster
.
