COMMENTS
:
Approximately
1000 specimens from the
Momiyama Collection
were acquired by
AMNH
in 1963, including the
holotype
of
H.d. iwootoensis
, which lay unrecognized in the general collection until recently.
Although Momiyama
cited specimen number ‘‘1297’’ in the original description and noted that he had
eight males
and
two females
from
Sulphur Island
, he did not give the year of collection.
At
least one additional specimen in
AMNH
is a
paratype
:
AMNH 785100
, female, collected on
18 December 1924
(Momiyama nos. 1287 and 24.0452).
Two
additional specimens
were collected early enough and may also be
paratypes
:
AMNH 785099
, adult male,
28 November 1925
(1985, 25.0510)
;
and
AMNH 785101
, adult female,
13 November 1925
(1979, 25.0509)
.
