It is evident from the pencil annotations made to the MAMU 1890s Catalogue, and dated 1965, that attempts at that time to assign registration numbers against the original list of specimens in the 1890s Catalogue was problematic and unresolved.

Whereas the second specimen in the 1890s Catalogue is listed as a young female skin, M.423 is a young, near adult male. Either the incorrect sex was entered during compilation of the 1890s Catalogue; M.423 is not the topotype from Palm Island, or perhaps more than two individuals were collected from Palm Island.
