in the original description. In addition to Hill’s label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, the specimen bears a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in
Mathews (1920a
: pl. 385, middle fig., opp. p. 158, text p. 160) and is there confirmed as the type of
broomei
. There are
two paratypes

;
and
