HOLOTYPE: AMNH 568353 About AMNH , adult male, collected at T’aipei, 25°05′N, 121°32′E (Times Atlas), Taiwan, Republic of China, in October 1896, by collectors for Alan Owston. From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: The above specimen is the only one collected in October at T’aipei. The number 31 cited by Hartert in his original description is not an individual specimen number and appears on at least 12 of the specimens collected on Taiwan for Owston; it may refer to the species or be the number of a collector.

Three additional specimens of this taxon from T’aipei, collected in September and November 1896, are paratypes that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: AMNH 568354–568356.
