COMMENTS: In the original description, Meinertzhagen designated as type a specimen in the Rothschild Collection bearing the above data; it is the only such specimen in AMNH. Meinertzhagen (1923a: 148) gave measurements of five males and females but did not say that the specimens were all from his collection. Only one additional specimen of irakensis came to AMNH, AMNH 600087 About AMNH , received by Rothschild on date unknown from Rev. Jourdain and collected at Nasiriyeh on 1 March 1917. It is possibly a paratype .
