(

).

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 601083
, male, collect- ed in
Tasmania
,
Australia
, date not given, by
R.H.W. Leach. From
the Mathews Collection (no. 9086) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Mathews cited his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description. It was the only specimen of this species cataloged by Mathews at that time and is there noted as a Tasmanian specimen obtained from Leach. The original label is not present. It was cataloged on
8 September 1911
and bears a Mathews Collection label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The number ‘‘574’’ that appears on the Mathews Collection label refers to the number of this species in
Mathews (1908a)
. Of additional Tasmanian specimens of
A. chrysorrhoa
from the Mathews collection, most were either not dated or were collected after the publication of
leachi
.
Two specimens
are
paratypes
:
AMNH 601086
(Mathews no. 2213), an unsexed specimen from
Edwin Ashby
collected in
March 1896
;
and
AMNH 601089
(4580), an unsexed and undated specimen collected by
Leach.
