COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and gave the range of ramsayi as ‘‘ North Queensland (Cairns).’’ The holotype bears the original label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a ‘‘ Figured’ ’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1924: pl. 521, upper fig., opp. p. 366, text p. 366) where it is confirmed as the type of ramsayi. Paratypes are: Cairns , all collected in 1908, AMNH 692248 About AMNH (Mathews no. 3103), August, AMNH 692249 About AMNH (3102), August, AMNH 692250 About AMNH (4565), October, males, AMNH 692252 About AMNH (3104), August [probably male] ; AMNH 692253 About AMNH (4567), October, AMNH 692254 About AMNH (4568), October, AMNH 692255 About AMNH (3105), August, females .
