COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the type and the range of westralensis as ‘‘West Australia’’ was included in the original description, but the number of specimens was not. The number 760 following the citation in Peters et al. (1960: 172) is the number of this taxon in Mathews’ (1912a) Reference–list in which the description appeared.
