HOLOTYPE: AMNH 560773 , adult male, collected at Darwin , 12°23′S, 130°44′E (Times Atlas), Northern Territory, Australia, on 14 June 1894, by Dr. Knut Dahl (no. 442). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10167) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This specimen bears the Mathews and Rothschild type labels, as well as Dahl’s field label. The Mathews Collection number was given in the original description and on the Rothschild type label, but it does not appear on the Mathews green type label. Data in the catalog at no. 10167 correspond to those on the specimen, except that the date is inadvertently entered as 1895. Collett is listed in the catalog as the source of the specimen. Mathews did not indicate how many specimens he had.
