COMMENTS: Parkes cited the AMNH number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave the range of the form as Negros Island. He did not give the size of his type series, but said (
Parkes, 1971: 1
) ‘‘Specimens on which these studies were based are primarily those in the American Museum of Natural History and Carnegie Museum. Comparative material from many other museums has been used …’’
Paratypes
in AMNH are specimens from Negros that would have been available to Parkes:
AMNH 459929–459945
and
AMNH 782176
,
782177
