, skin and skull, female;
Fitzroy Isle, NE
Queensland
,
Australia
; collected by
McGillivray
, 1848, in exchange from
BMNH.
Comment: According to
Andersen (1912: 380)
the [holo]type is in
BMNH
(1850.7.20.56, skin and 1850.9.6.16 skull), but up to now not identified (Paula Jenkins, pers. com.). We consider Andersen´s identification as
lectotype
designation
.
