HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 571709
, adult male, collected at
Tishkan
,
Russian Turkestan
, on
11 May 1900
(Russian calendar), by
Nikolai A. Zarudny. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description,
Nicoll (1920: 25)
stated that he had
22 specimens
of this form from
Egypt
, Turkestan, and
Persia
and that the type with the above data was in the Rothschild Collection. Six Zarudny specimens from Tishkan came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Nicoll (1920: 25)
gave the date of the type as
11– 22 May 1900
. This is apparently an attempt to give the New Style date as well as the Old Style date used by Zarudny. It does not serve as inclusive dates of male specimens because the two additional male specimens in AMNH collected by Zarudny in Tishkan were obtained on
30 April 1899
and
25 May 1900
. The
five paratypes
in AMNH are: AMNH 571710, male,
25 May 1900
; AMNH 571711, male,
30 April 1899
; AMNH 571712, female,
3 May 1900
; AMNH 571713, female,
28 May 1900
; and AMNH 571714, female,
9 May 1899
(all dates Old Style, as they appear on Zarudny’s labels).
