COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave ‘‘North-west Australia’’ as the range of the form. Paratypes are: AMNH 651228–651233 About AMNH , specimens collected by Rogers at Parrys Creek in 1908 and 1909 (Mathews catalog nos. 1800–1802, 1805, 1806, and 1809) ; specimens obtained from Conigrave, AMNH 651236 About AMNH (Mathews no. 9863), King River , AMNH 651237 About AMNH (13002), Barton River, and AMNH 651238 About AMNH (13003), Admiralty Gulf ; and a specimen obtained from G.F. Hill, AMNH 651239 About AMNH (5752), Napier Broome Bay . A Mathews specimen collected by Bowyer-Bower in northwest Australia in 1886 was not cataloged by Mathews until May 1913 ; it is not considered a paratype, with tormenti having been published in September 1912. Other AMNH specimens from the Kimberley area were never part of Mathews’ collection .
