COMMENTS. — This species is associated with its collection in King George Sound (Albany, Western Australia) by the crew of the voyage captained by Jules Dumont d’Urville and Charles-Hector Jacquinot aboard the corvette Astrolabe. This species was however illustrated by Lesueur, though it is unknown if any specimens were collected. The artist Lesueur was on Le Géographe, but only Le Naturaliste (14-28 June 1801) and Le Casuarina (11-13 March 1803) have docked at Rottnest Island. The species was not mentioned by naturalist Levillain (1801) during Le Naturaliste’s stopover in 1801, but its description by Rottnest (1803) was referred to by Freycinet ( Freycinet 1815: 169, 172). So, a specimen was possibly collected then and Lesueur could have the opportunity to illustrate the species afterwards.
