The holotype and five paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Paratypes in AMNH, all from Mount Sofia, are: AMNH 700155 About AMNH (Stresemann no. 705), male, 26 June 1911 ; AMNH 700156 About AMNH (672), male, 28 June 1911 ; AMNH 700157 About AMNH (691), female, 28 June 1911 ; AMNH 700158 About AMNH (694), female, 21 June 1911 ; AMNH 700159 About AMNH (711), female, 28 June 1911. The three paratypes from Mount Hoale are in RMNH ( Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 24). The whereabouts of the remaining paratype is unknown .
