COMMENTS
: The Mathews Collection number of the
holotype
was cited in the original description. This specimen bears the Mathews and the Rothschild type labels and a field label without a collector’s name. It was from an 1881–1882 collection of 116
Queensland
specimens that Mathews received from Prof. Robert Collett in
November 1912
.
In the original description, the range was given as
Queensland
. Only one other
Queensland
specimen that had been in the Mathews Collection came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It is AMNH 572960 (Mathews no. 14624), a male, collected at Taranganbar,
Queensland
, on
18 February 1882
, and was the only other specimen of this taxon that Mathews received from Collett. It is a
paratype
.
