HOLOTYPE: AMNH 556386 About AMNH , adult male, collected on the Forrest River , Western Australia, Australia, on 31 August 1911, by Charles Price Conigrave (no. 85). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number was given in the original description. No exact location along the river is recorded on the label, but an account of the trip ( Anonymous, 1912: 268) provides further information: ‘‘Forrest River was reached about 20 miles from its mouth, where it had been arranged that a supply boat should call about the middle of August. The boat duly put in an appearance, and, restocked with provisions, the party set out from the river at the end of August.’’

Johnstone (2001: 88) recognized only the subspecies M. j. horsfieldii in Western Australia.
