HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 698842
, adult male, collected on the
Barron River
,
Queensland
,
Australia
, on
29 May 1912
, by
Alan P. Dodd. From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 13837) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of
millitaris
as ‘‘Cairns, North
Queensland
.’’ In Mathews’ catalog, this entire collection from Alan P. Dodd (
Mathews, 1942: 53
) is listed as from Cairns, although the Dodds lived at Kuranda,
16.46S
,
145.37E
(Times Atlas), on the Atherton Tableland, and most of their specimens were collected near their home. The original label gives the locality as Barron
River
; in addition, the
holotype
bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels.
P. p. millitaris
was published on
28 June 1912
. Only
one specimen
now in AMNH could be a
paratype
: AMNH 698841 was collected on the Herbert
River
in
Queensland
in
August 1882
, probably by Lumholtz, as Mathews received it from Collett, from whom he received specimens collected by Dahl in 1894–1896 and by Lumholtz in 1880–1883 (
Whittell, 1954: 184
, 457). Nevertheless, this collection was not cataloged until
November 1912
and was received after the publication of the name (
Mathews, 1912b: 25
).
